    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This  research addresses the learning done\nby fifth and sixth grade teachers as they\nfacilitate an innovative three-week unit on\nweather, incorporating c o m p u t e r\ncommunications for information research and\ninter-classroom information exchange between\ndistant student groups. The teachers m a y be\nsituated in a community of practice where they\nlearn about computer use in regular classrooms\nwhile teaching. Little research has been done\non teachers' learning in these types of settings\nand no communities of practice linked by\ncomputer networks have been reported in the\neducation research literature.\nTeaching practices and learning were\nstudied. Both quasi-experimental and\nqualitative methods were employed. To\ndiscern the differences in teaching practices,\ncomparisons were m a d e of videotapes taken in\nclassrooms with computers and others without.\nTeacher journals, questionnaires, and telephone\ninterviews were employed to understand\nproblems faced by the teachers, their contacts with experts, the problem resolution, and\nchanges to their teaching practices due to both\ntheir learning experiences and to the\ninnovations of the curriculum. With a better\nunderstanding of the teachers' learning, the\nresearch team will revise future field tests,\nanticipating teachers' needs w h e n they\nincorporate computer telecommunication\ntechnology in innovative science units.",
