So one reason on responsible leadership is our limitted resources, our destruction of what we all need for living? lets call it the GREEN issues.. and how can ICT be of support to solve all those issues?

What could be another reason and another topic

more in detail a report by Nicholas Negroponte at TED.com http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/nicholas_negroponte_takes_olpc_to_colombia.html

TED follows Nicholas Negroponte to Colombia as he delivers laptops inside territory once controlled by guerrillas. His partner? Colombia's Defense Department, who see One Laptop per Child as an investment in the region.

Lets call it the SUSTAINABLE issue ... and you already saw ONE sample on how ICT can be supportive to solve those issues  


 * Your class objective**

check on those many links here, click around and spend some time on SOME of them, read about the samples and ways of green technology and then come up with your OWN suggestions on a) what could be easy applied for the current IMI campus b) what should be considered and send to the IMI decision makers on the future campus (to be build in 2010) c) what would you think is most important as green technologies for the hospitality and tourism industry righ NOW

Prepare ideas that you send to me before end of class. Make sure you add all the names of your group and cc them in your email to me. Meet in the group once again before next weeks class (monday) and suggest to me on how you would like to present your ideas during green day

The best ideas as a collective report or any other media of delivery (podcast/ movie/ animation (for example [|animoto])/ map or all together mashed up at your own [|webpage] ) i plan then to submit as a collaborative classwork to http://www.connect2earth.org/ like as well Moby

further material to read and to include in your discussion, in no particular order or structure, check as many as you can, they all are very intersting and should all leade to a better understanding of your future role as a **RESPONSIBLE LEADER** //(i will for sure as well use one of those samples for the exam question and therefore it sure will be to your advantage if you have seen and visited it beforehand)//
