From Elizabeth Stuber :I think I have writen this two other times on our wiki page, so bare with me as I figure out how to do this. I found a NYT article about Mashable, a blog started by one man that focuses on the positive change social media has brought to our world: []

From Elizabeth Stuber: A review of Wael Ghonim's //The Power of the People is Greater Than the People in Power: A Memoir//. This book is about how an Egyptian Revolution Began on Facebook. []

[|http://mashable.com/2011/12/07/social-media-uprising-activism/#372679-Occupy-Wall-Street]: This article is a slide show that briefly explains 9 social uprising and how social media was involved.

[]: This article talks about how social networking is changing the business world. I know that isn't exactly Arab Spring type stuff, but making money has always influenced what happens in the world.

[]: This article talks more about social change, and focuses on 2010 student protests in the UK.

T. Baker says:

This gives an idea of how you (or your students) can use social media to bring about social change, from Mashable which is a social media website. []

This article explores the idea of whether social media has played a role in recent uprisings as some have claimed it has not. You decide. []

This web page gives some interesting ideas of the changing role of the teacher when using social networks. Off topic? Maybe slightly but worth the read. []
