This is an action research to investigate and argue the Turkish teachers' experiences on online communications to build a democratic and multicultural knowledge network. This study utilized both qualitative and quantitative data collected from different sources. This helped the author generate new perspectives and stimulate new directions in the data analysis. Also, this study has taken a grounded theory approach to allow the researcher to explore and discover the Turkish teachers' attitudes toward online communications. This research was conducted during the 2003-2004 school-year in Eskisehir, Turkey. The findings of this study represent 319 teachers (241 women and 78 men) who work at the K12 schools in Eskisehir.
