Abstract

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the use of videoconference technology's ability to create space and opportunity for students to participate in discussions with others focusing on related issues. Though distant in terms of geographic space, videoconference technology may allow students to share and expand their "view of the world". Use of videoconference technology is being reviewed in terms of how students' perceptions have changed as a result of discussion experiences with others. How students "read the world" will be considered in the context of situated literacies. It is my hypothesis that students may develop an expanded awareness of literacy and what it entails for them and others through participation in videoconferences, due to face to face dialogue focusing on issues with others using technology to motivate and facilitate such discourse.
