Education is one of the fastest-growing economic and social sectors in the world, and the use of technologies is an integral and driving component of that growth (Anderson, 2008). Wireless networks and mobile communications coupled with personal computing devices present new means for students to access classroom information and communicate with peers and teachers, and for faculty members to alter the concept of the classroom (EDCAUSE, 2005). Facebook, twitter, skype, blogs, wikis, are communication technological tools that learners can use to facilitate content knowledge, communication, and collaboration. These tools offer students the benefit of being able to interact and communicate with each other at almost anytime. Students are able to use technological tools to provide feedback to each other regarding assignments and foster learning.
