The Boston Mayor sat down for about 30-minutes and addressed many questions in a public format using the social media giant, Facebook. Trying to address issues specifically in relation to education and innovation, although some other questions did find there way in to the conversation and Walsh answered them as well. This is a good thing to see that Walsh himself is utilizing the tools of social media and not having some intern answer the questions for him.

Digital Media and Learning: Democratic Futures 2013 - 0 views

There has been a longstanding narrative of youth political apathy and disengagement from democratic life. However, this perception is now giving way to a richer account, one that seeks to illuminate the dynamic ways in which young people are redefining expressions of "citizenship," "political engagement," and "democracy." As the currents of social, political, financial, and global change intensify, what is the future of participatory democracy, youth activism, and civic and political education? How are the practices and forms of participatory democracy evolving in the age of social, digital, and mobile media? And what do these transformational practices reveal about democratic futures?
