Students are spending increasing amounts of time using technology, particularly computers (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2010). As students use search engines and Internet tools, they are able to access information about myriad topics (Fieldhouse & Nicholas, 2008). Educators are in a position to develop a culture of digital learning (Søby, 2008) in their classrooms and also to support students as they explore their interconnectedness with others around the globe (Herrera, 2012). Through the use of online communities, educators can guide students in connecting with others locally and globally who share common interests or support common causes. Participation in such online communities can promote further discussion that may help young people understand their online connections in a global context (Schreyer, 2012). Through the use of technology and social media, a group of seventh grade students investigated a local observation regarding fair trade practices and connected with others from around the world based on the issue. The use of social media allowed the students to better understand and contribute to the social good.
