I chose Derek Lomas from the Playpower Foundation as the social innovator that I would like to follow. I think the idea of providing low-cost gaming technology to underfunded communities is a great idea. Some people feel that video games destroy childhood, but I think if used properly, it can be used as a great educational tool. After all, that's how my younger brother learned to read at the age of 3. Derek seems to think along the same lines as I do, and I think his ideas are very powerful.
I am now following him on Twitter, and I sent him a message through Twitter to introduce myself, and to let him know that I'm shadowing him. He hasn't used Twitter in awhile, though, since his last post proclaimed that he is a new father! I have also bookmarked
http://playpower.org/blog/ which updates what the Playpower Foundation is doing.
