In recent years, with the rapid development of technologies, information technological software and social networks have been widely accepted. Therefore, social networks can be integrated with information technologies for teaching purposes. In addition, the sharing of learning outcomes via social networks can improve students' learning effectiveness. This study used an information technology teaching environment to teach students 3D skills, and used 3D SketchUp to enable students to explore,

Moreover, this study used Facebook as the media of a WBI (web-based instruction) community, and used the discussions and sharing between students and students, and students and teachers, to improve learning effectiveness and reduce learning disabilities. The research results showed that, proper use of social networks to provide students with opportunities to discuss and share outcomes can help improve students' learning effectiveness and reduce learning disabilities.
