STEM+ innovation is required both to develop new pedagogies for learning and to encourage new approaches and discoveries within science.  Networks and communities of practice have long been recognised as having the potential to make a significant contribution to advancement of a subject or cause. But what does it take to establish and sustain such communities of practice and how might we assess their impact? Keith Krueger is the CEO of CoSN, the Consortium for School Networking and knows the importance of networks, and  the contribution that they can make.  Among other things,  he is currently working with the US Department of Education to help develop community of practice influence on innovation in K-12 education and will present and answer your questions on Networks, Communities of Practice and the contribution they make to education.
