"Both high-tech innovations for learning and the inability of many American schoolchildren to write well have been major talking points in educational circles for quite some time, but oddly enough, one may offer a solution to helping remedy the other. There are a variety of tech tools and methods out there for teaching writing that can make the process easier and more fun for both teachers and students. While not every high-tech way of teaching writing will work for every class or every student, there’s enough variety that there’s bound to be something for everyone. Here, we offer just a few tech-focused ways to help students learn grammar, essay-writing, and, most importantly, why good writing is so important to their futures."

Hmm - emoticons for higher interaction. Help me. I really dislike the little buggers. On the rest of the data - isolated data may need to be read in context with the type of posts. Seriously "win" indicates opportunity. No analysis of "free" or "sex".
