This networking is very much applicable also to pre-service teachers in the K-12 arena. Hewson (2013) expressed the need for early career educators to establish online activities, leave digital professional footprints, and join support network groups to become competitive on the job market but also to survive their first year of teaching. Online mentoring and support groups could make the difference in this sense, especially when the school lacks appropriate resources to connect new teachers with onsite mentors (Hewson, 2013). Through such networks, pre-service educators and new teachers may join communities and learn that they are not facing the challenges of a new profession alone.
