Implementation of the concept of education throughout all life is connected not only with modernization of the contents, methodical providing and the organization of educational process, including introduction of information and communication technologies and innovative methods of training, with the strengthening of a role of individual and independent work of schoolchildren and students, but also to change of a role of teachers. Functioning and development of modern educational space in many respects depends on coordination of the actions of the scientific and pedagogical community. It should be noted especially an important and growing role of professional associations at virtual space. Development of the global Internet and wide use of information and communication technologies represent essentially other opportunities for the organization of educational networks. It is obvious that communities of teachers at the present stage have to be focused on the creation of an innovative platform for discussion and the analysis of future tendencies in educational space, for exchange of information, new ideas and for the establishment of professional contacts.
