“Hunting things that go bump in the night is child’s play when compared to juggling relationships.” During the Roaring Twenties, Clara Grey hunted things that went bump in the night. On her last mission, she paid the ultimate price to rid the world of a powerful foe. As a reward, she ascended to Heaven and joined its ranks as an angel. Ninety years after her death, Clara fell to Earth, intent on saving a soul. While successful, killing an old god in self-defence barred her from returning to Heaven.

How can we improve support for teachers as they negotiate the pathways into the profession? This books highlights how strong networks of connections with other teachers and with resources have been shown to make a big difference. Online learning networks are one way to help pre-service and early career teachers to foster these connections and the greater community of teachers has an interest in helping new teachers to enter the profession. New technologies have allowed teachers to be connected anywhere, anytime; this book discusses principles for the design and implementation of learning networks that can use this connectivity to improve support for beginning teachers. It addresses foundational principles of types of teacher communities (online and offline), types of knowledge relevant to beginning teachers, the idea of presence within a network and methodologies for studying and nurturing communities of teachers, providing recent examples of each.

« Perdons-nous connaissance ? », c’est-à-dire perdons-nous le sens de ce qu’est la connaissance alors que nous nous autoproclamons « société de la connaissance » ? Aujourd’hui, la connaissance ne fait plus peur à personne, alors que depuis trois mille ans notre culture occidentale n’a cessé de la décrire comme vitale et dangereuse. Oui, dangereuse, qui s’en souvient encore ? Cette rupture avec notre héritage constitue-t-elle un progrès ou une régression, une chute ou une ascension ? La Mythologie et la Neurologie, sources de « connaissance de la connaissance », nous offriront de précieuses clés pour résoudre ce paradoxe inédit dans l’histoire de la pensée. Dans cet essai brillant qui explore les multiples dimensions de nos existences, nous comprenons pourquoi la connaissance ne doit pas être envisagée comme une question de « spécialistes », mais comme l’affaire de chacun. Lionel Naccache est neurologue à l’hôpital de La Pitié-Salpêtrière à Paris et chercheur en neurosciences cognitives au sein du Centre de recherche de l’Institut du cerveau et de la moelle épinière. Il est l’auteur du Nouvel Inconscient.
