>interested in articles that push the boundaries 
>on how people in diverse transnational and 
>cross-cultural environments learn to use new 
>media technologies for a wide spectrum of social 
>activity. With any novel tool, there are 
>intentions, as well as a range of actions and 
>consequences, often facilitated through the 
>informal processes of learning and teaching 
>within social groups. This edition seeks to 
>provide a wide perspective on such critical 
>interactions. Interdisciplinary work is 
>particularly encouraged as well as work situated 
>within marginalized and disadvantaged contexts
