Abstract

It seems like everyone is so busy today, it is easy to miss opportunities to reach out and make a positive difference. Though we are all experiencing the impact of tight economic times there is one lesson we are learning internationally: by putting our minds and actions towards mutual goals we all can benefit. What better way to live, learn, and work together than to share our knowledge and skills to improve our communities, both the one we live in immediately, and the one we thrive in globally. When we leave behind a legacy, will it be one of teaching service to our students to improve both academic learning and making valuable contributions to our communities for generations to follow? With the prevalence of computer-based technologies and the desire of youth to be digitally connected, it is an optimal time to share technology knowledge and skills for service learning opportunities.
