Cate How are educators embracing social technology?

Restate: Educators are embracing social technology. Evidence: Skye helps a spanish class at Marquette University by using webcam chats with their english-learning counterparts in South America. Explain: Educators can use this technology to be able to chat with teachers in South America and learn new ways to teach. Evidence: Students use mobile phones to take pictures of the blackboard instead of writing down the information. Explain: Educators can have more time to teach because they won't have to wait for the students to copy down the information. Evidence: Leichester University in UK are using Twitter and giving their students an ipod. Explain: This way, with the students collaborating with each other outside of school, it will be easier for the educator to teach because if a student doesn't understand he/she could just ask another student. Restate: Educators today are embracing social technology.
