also be a powerful tool for cheating. It can gallantly open new doors and learning possibilities, while at the same time open some that are better off left closed, because some topics are not appropriate for some age groups. It can also be used to inform, but also to distort. If not utilized properly, the positive effects of technology become negative which continue to hinder students’ success.

Cheating With technology, now, students can make good grades effortlessly, because they can easily search for solutions for any kind of problem they come across in various search engines. Technology has made cheating simpler than ever before, with minimum probability of getting caught. For instance, students allowed to use a calculator in a particular test, can write a program on it that contains all the answers and formulas that they need to pass the exam. Another example is that a student can take a picture of their homework and send it via email or SMS to their friends, who copy it and submit as their own.

But this can change, and it will. Social networking will be reordered around the context or cause by which we have connected and away from defining relationships directly - for instance, by having thousands of Facebook friends. And the therapeutic community that we entered into last week will be better sustained by harnessing the power of mobile social media to restore real-life context to our online ties, foster deeper bonds with others, and share new opportunities to interact and collaborate, based on what we've been through together.

In particular, we yearn for this greater belonging today because the richness of our relationships is ironically lost on social networks. We are "friends" or "not friends," and easily forget who's who and how we are connected. We have connectivity, but lack context, continuity, and community.
