Blogging to Save the World

Change.org recently launched a new section to their site with 13 bloggers each talking about a specific set of global issues. A great article was written on the Newsweek website about the impact and implications this could have if it continues to grow. If you have not yet taken a look at Change.org I think it is a fantastic site so please check it out. And the article is here.

Everyday Hero Awards

GlobalTV has posted video segments of the recipients of their Everyday Hero awards. There are some great little quick clips you can check out and pass along to others. Educators are using them in class curriculum to discuss global citizenship but they can be used for any purpose you come up with. They are posted here for your perusal.

CGI U 2009

I got an email the other day mentioning that applications are now being accepted for CGI U 2009. I had an incredible time last year and while I have yet to fulfill my commitment I am diligently working on it. I encourage everyone to check out the CGI U website and think about attending. I have posted pictures on my facebook page (feel free to add me) and if you go through the blog archives there is a roundup and detailed transcripts of the sessions I attended.
