I chose question #2 "How do we leverage the immense power and potential of the Internet, digital tools and social media to enable learners and teachers to connect in purposeful ways across borders and boundaries to contribute to making the world a safer, saner and more just place?" as the most important question for myself because my age group is the most technologically involved society and we learned all about it when we were young. Since we are the youngest group of people that know generally more about the Internet than most people we should be the ones to start working with it to improve the world. If we start now at this young age, we can start making differences before we are even adults and possibly continue that for the rest of our lives.

I chose question #1 "How do we grow global mindedness in every child and youth in this country? Why does it matter?" as the most important question for society to consider. I think this is the most important for society because with every year kids are becoming less and less aware of what is going on around the world. Children in general usually know very little about what goes on outside their country or even home town. I think it is important to spread global mindedness to the kids of our century because they need to know what goes on around the world because even though we are far from other countries what happens there still affects us a great amount. If we can teach them what goes on in different countries they can get more involved in world issues and be educated on this important topic for their future.
