Teachers for Interactive Language Learning is a community on Google+ designed for the sharing of, "opinions and experiences related to helping others acquire an additional language." The idea is to create a community where we can learn from each others mistakes, and benefit from others gains. The feed on the site mostly consists of discussion posts, along with live conferences. The sharing of ideas promote engagement within the community which in turn, benefits both the students as well as the teacher.
Sites such as Google+ allow for an interactive medium that teachers may not have had access to in the past. Before you may have been limited to resources within your own school or local area. Finding a community within Google+ is fairly simple, allowing for easy access to those who may not have others to work with. The sharing of ideas allows for feedback to occur much more quickly than it may have otherwise.
