Nowadays, teachers tend to build their own didactic local repository composed by learning objects retrieved from web repositories or, in most cases, by self-made didactic material. In this way they do not share their teaching experience, loosing a precious shortcut to a fast professional update and to an improvement of their teaching activity. In this paper we address the problem of helping teachers to retrieve didactic material from a repository through a didactic social network where teachers with similar Teaching Styles, can help each other in retrieving educational material. To this aim a teaching-styles based social network is built following the Grasha TS paradigm. We present a first evaluation of the network embedded in a web application.
