This book describes an important aspect of mathematics education in our ever-changing increasingly digitised world. The researcher situated herself in an unfamiliar context and lived as an ethnographer in very different classroom context to promote the uses of the Internet for teacher professional development and for teaching and learning mathematics. "This research has allowed her unfolded the realistic snapshot of life from an insider perspective" (Professor Tom Lowrie). "The author explains the processes and outcomes (including frustrations) of her work with the teacher over a considerable period of time. She does this with integrity, thoughtfulness, reflexivity, and concern, thus demonstrating her skill not only in being able to communicate this process, but in managing the process itself... The overall strength of [this book] lies in its coherent structure and lucid writing" (Professor Jill Adler). This book should be especially useful to professional in teacher education, technology and mathematics education, teachers, the practitioners or anyone else who may be considering utilizing the Internet for learning or for teaching.
