There were misgivings that the teachers in charge might not have enough understanding of the true purpose of teaching "Information". To learn about the general attitude of those teachers, the research group of private schools in Osaka began a project, 'The Public Presentation Caravan', in which teachers who had already started using information tools opened their class to teachers from other schools and exchanged ideas. It may be deduced that the combination of the two forums for exchanging opinions, one is held on the internet and the other face to face, is important. Teachers' community exists on the point where these two environments meet. Through this project, we might suggest creating a new mode of teachers' community using a network will be indispensable for the new teachers training.
