Grown Up Digital: The Net Generation is Changing Your World As long time collaborators, TakingITGlobal and Don Tapscott are celebrating the launch of Don’s new book, Grown Up Digital. In it, Don, a Champion of Youth Engagement at TIG since its inception, defends the youth of today and their use of the Internet. Based on a huge research study, including extensive dialogue on TIG, the book highlights how the Net Generation (those aged 11-30) is a remarkably bright community that has developed revolutionary new ways of thinking, interacting, working and socializing. If you understand the Net Generation, you will understand the future. You will also understand how our institutions and society need to change now. Grown Up Digital is in-stores today, with a portion of the proceeds going to TIG and its initiatives (buy on Amazon.com and TIG will get a doubled donation). Read more about the book, join the discussion and download a free chapter! (PDF) |

International Volunteer Manager Appreciation Day A huge part of the TakingITGlobal team is our large group of volunteers. A huge thank you goes out to all of the TIG staff, especially Jo Anne Tacorda (Office Manager), Laura Kenyon (Online community manager), and Chiara Camponeschi (Multilingual co-ordinator) they demonstrate strong leadership and guidance, and without them we wouldn't be able to accomplish as much as we do. Show your appreciation by sending a kind thought or even an e-card, and always remember to inspire, inform, and get involved! |
