1. YouTube for schools. YouTube has launched YouTube EDU for schools to bring the educational videos accessible to the students. It has solved the problem of students getting distracted by the variety of videos available on the network. The school admins and teachers will have control over the videos available for the students. It has also launched a special channel for teachers which would enable the teachers to make their lectures more effective with the use of videos. Visit: www.youtube.com/schools.
2. Social Media connecting the world and people with different faiths and religion. Stories about how a boy from a Hindu family saved a Christian boy from mob fury or how a Muslim boy saved an elderly Jewish woman during the tsunami, have had many views. Public interest movements like the anti-corruption and save the environment campaigns are being supported by millions through these sites. Pope Benedict said in a message for the Catholic Churchs World Communication Day, on June 5 this year, the new media and social networks offer a great opportunity for people to stay connected spiritually. Many organisations use social networking sites to foster community-ship, support spiritual growth and conduct outreach.
