I'm teaching a class on youth engagement right now based on the Rings of Engagement (participation, passion, voice, and collective action) all of which can be incredibly enhanced by social media. I'm going to make sure we address this at our next class on collective action, i.e., youth as social change agents through youth-adult partnerships. Thanks so much Trudy!<br>Rebecca Saitonoreply@blogger.com
