Using Technology to Empower and Foster 21st Century Advocacy, Citizenship, and Empathy in Children

What if we empowered students to use technology in compassionate and innovative ways to create positive social change in their schools, their communities, and the world? As educators and globally conscious citizens, it is imperative to shift the perception of technology to show students its far-reaching abilities in building advocacy and educating others about social justice issues around the world. How can we shift the paradigm of technology to demonstrate to students its power as a tool for social change?
