Taking it global!
I recently attended a session where Suzie Vesper spoke about Taking it global, a social network for social good which was set up by two Canadian teenagers.
By youth for youth.

Suzie is working with Wellington loop schools to promote using the Taking it global website as way of getting school students to begin working collaboratively with school students in other parts of the world. This link takes you to Suzie’s wikispace on the Taking it global project.
Some of the more useful aspects of Taking it Global are:
- The thematic classrooms and learning recourses available. Thematic classrooms are available on: Tobacco Control, HIV/AIDS, Ayiti: The Cost of Life, The Orange Revolution (human rights) and Grub (Youth perspectives on food choices and food systems but it is not yet working :-( ).
- The games, each thematic classroom has a game aspect.
- A way of finding groups to work with on online collaboratively projects.
