Question: How are educators enbracing social technology???

Restate: Educators are embracing social technology in many ways.

Evidence: One reason that educators are embracing social technology is "to fight back against the onslaught of problems. I know this because I found this in the text.

Explain: Some of the problems are expensive tools or software, so certain websites are trying to bring about inexpensive tools and software for educational purposess. Evidence: Schools and Universites all over the country are using popular social network sites to build up on language and educational skills. Some are using webcam and other tools to learn better. In the text, my statement is proven because it explains how students are going on line in class to get better at languages and schoolwork. Also, sites like Skype, Twitter, and other social networking sites are good for homework help and asking questions because in the text it says, "With Skype, every student has weekly access too a free personal tutor," and it explains how Twitter helped a university with getting involved in a more interesting way online.

Explain: Social sites will help students because there are many people who will speak different languages and you can learn a lot through just looking at things the've said or talking to people in different areas of the world firsthand. Twitter and other sites can help by giving students and more fun way of learning online and they will look forward to being involved with the schoolwork there, as well as engaging themselves in conversations on homework and help.

Evidence: Some schools are allowing students to bring cellular phones into the learning aspect of school. In the text, it says "While many schools around the country have declared all outwar on mobile devices, Wiregrass High School took a decidedly approach, intergrating cell phones into the entire educational experience."

Explain: By having the advantage of having and using cell phones, the student are able communicate and "exchange questions." They can also take pictures of certain things to help them with homework or things they won't be able to see later.
