Finally narrowing down my research question

After doing a great deal of research in e-journals to try to find literature that answers, or contributes to the questions that I stated below, I am redirecting my literature review from focusing on k-12 students to focusing on k-12 teachers. There is a great deal of research out there on online teacher communities, and teacher professional development that I find really interesting. I'm going to focus on teachers' perceptions of online collaboration and learning communities, and how that might impact their attitudes toward using interactive technology with their own students.

For my article presentation this week, I am going to critique...
Ikpeze, C. (2007) Small group collaboration in peer-led electronic discourse: an analysis of group dynamics and interactions involving preservice and inservice teachers. Journal of Technology and Teacher Education. 15(3), pp. 383-407.
