The Maryknoll Society wants students to think about how they would use social networking and digital media to spread the Good News. The theme of this year’s essay contest is “iMission,” and students in grades 6-12 could win up to $1000 by submitting a 500-750 word essay before December 1, 2010.
This is a great way for students to think about being witnesses to the message of Jesus Christ. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, instant messaging or texting, today’s digital media makes mass communication fast and easy. I’ll be interested in seeing how my eighth graders can take these tools and orient them toward spreading the gospel.
