The Davos Question

Can Social Media lead to a better world?

This year YouTube is joining with the World Economic Forum to answer the Davos Question in hopes that it can.

Think about: "What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?"

Each year top leaders meet in Davos, Switzerland to discuss ideas of how to make the world a better place to live. Everyone now has the chance to contribute their ideas through a video uploaded to YouTube and the leaders will listen to these voices!

Check out the videos submitted- people have some great ideas. Submit yours.

Discuss the videos with your students....and rank them.

Then take your students to the Davos coverage in Second Life. This is a chance for your digital native students to participate in a world event that definitely will lead to great class discussions.

Social media is participatory media that benefits from the innovative ideas of the collective community....we hope to make a difference - so do your students!
