Understanding what shapes the identity of a person in general and children in particular requires redefining the term “I” by including the Virtual “I”. The Virtual “I”, defined as e-Id@I, is an integral part of any person who is exposed to mobile, the web, TV, etc. Understanding the e-Id@I will provide educators with a powerful tool to develop programs suitable for today’s youth while providing a way to develop wisdom using technology in a humanistic way. Moreover, this is a methodology that tackles in healthy and constructive way dialog between communities in conflict.
