John Dewey wrote that “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself ” (Dewey, 1938). Dewey argued that learning communities should not be a world apart, but instead integrated with the rest of society. Students should be encouraged to be a part of civil society, pursuing interests in collaboration with others. More than ?fty years later, Scardamalia and Bereiter (1994) articulated a similar vision, and noted that computer-mediated communication (CMC) creates new possibilities for building learning communities that are deeply integrated with society. “Computer-mediated communication” refers to communication between people that occurs through the medium of the computer, and includes email, instant messages, chat rooms, newsgroups, and blogs. Learning sciences researchers have made great progress in understanding how CMC can be used to connect learners together, and to allow learners to connect with society at large.
