This paper underscores the importance of social networks to give voice and action to the role of education in shaping a global ethic of care for humanity and the environment. The flattening of the world with developments in digital technologies, gives rise to a new opportunity for educators to develop a pedagogy that engages youth in social learning networks, and uses global trends and conditions as the classroom. With the devastating consequences of globalization on the environment, humanity, and world peace, education as the practice of freedom and social development is ever more important for global transformation.
