Collaboration is one of the concepts frequently discussed among those in the humanities and those studying social networking. How do we facilitate it? What tools make it effective? What cognitive models should we use? How can the drive for it inform pedagogy? These and many other questions we explore on a regular basis with the assumption that collaboration is likely to create new, useful knowledge, is a necessary skill for our students to learn, and is probably the direction toward which current technological tools are driving us, so we need to understand it. Nevertheless, one place where collaboration is rarely, if ever seen, is in the conventional research done by humanities scholars.

But maybe there's some hope.  Here's Nicholas Kristoff's article "Talia for President" about an eighth-grade girl who loves science, wants to be president, and who has been energized and inspired by the Obama social networking campaign and a sense that you can work for change and actually make change happen.   Now, wouldn't that be nice.  Here's the url  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/16/opinion/16kristof.html?emc=eta1
