This paper presents a case study designed to test a pilot online internship workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to develop a professional learning community of intern teachers and to enable professional development through the use of modern technology. Interns’ reactions to the online workshop were somewhat inconsistent, as their experiences varied, both in terms of technological knowledge and their internship sites. Results show that the online workshop has been evaluated as an effective tool providing support and professional development to intern teachers. However, the difficulties that were encountered stemmed from technical problems, connection interruption and lack of a face-to-face (F2F) meeting.
