Salomon also stated that in education, the design of situations of distributed cognitions should be designed to promote or scaffold the cultivation of individuals competencies. This is an important issue to consider in the design of web-based materials that offer students new or different ways to learn chemistry. It is valuable to offer students the opportunity to use materials that may help them learn the chemistry, and properly designed materials will offer students the ability to learn while being supported by the special affordances of the Web. 

Despite the widespread sense of vast technological possibility (much of it imagined), the racist backdrop of genetic engineering provided little political opportunity in the era of civil rights for geneticists to push their social educational...
