If you missed this fantastic event or want to experience it again, here is the video round-up, question by question!
1. #UKRIOTS What role did social media play? Was it a trigger, an enabler or just another channel?
2. #CYBERBULLYING Children could once escape bullies by going home. Social media enables bullying in new ways which are often less visible. Recent cases have involved suicide. Is this a new threat or an old one? Where does responsibility lie?
3. #ARABSPRING Governments have toppled, but what are the long reaching consequences of socially connected populations?
