- Abstract
Social media has become an important venue for building professional learning networks. More and more school librarians employ these flexible, free tools to make connections with colleagues and build a community of practice in the virtual learning environment. In this netnographic case study, the motivations and benefits to co-founders, core group members, and participants in creating and/or participating in a grassroots regionally based Twitter chat group are examined. Data include electronic interviews with key informants, an online survey open to all chat participants, an analysis of chat archives, and field notes. Study results illuminate the value participants place on this social-media delivered professional development experience.
