The authors begin by telling how this cybersocial learning environment has changed the way we see and understand education, our students, and how this changes our teaching identity. They go on to recover some historical background of our educational systems and then situate the ways they are implementing CGScholar. A consequence of this two autoetnography perspective is to generate insights and reflections on possibilities of use of this particular digital technology for education.
