Abstract:
In this paper we consider reflective learning and digital media in the contexts of teacher education and communities of practice. According to that we present our model of combining the several types of media, forms of activity and nature of reflection together. Learning is seen here as reflective practice which has individual and social aspects, which can be supported with suitable digital media, which is used for documentation, sharing, discussion and reflection. The aim of the paper is to discuss and test the preliminary theory-informed model before turning it into practice.
