Abstract
Seminars have often been used in teacher education to stimulate reflective thought and moral development among the participants. The use of online resources, such as listservs and electronic mail, expands the scope and range of seminars by allowing students to participate at any time. This study examines the use of an online seminar with a cohort of students involved in a field-based practicum at a professional development school on the university campus. The methodology of the seminar is explored, as are the topics discussed by participants. Particular attention is given to the ways in which student attitudes develop during the conversation.
