__INTRODUCTION:__
Opinsy is a site that lets you vote on whether you agree or disagree with the statement provided. This ranges from views on Wifi everywhere to gun control and Coke or Pepsi in the same restaurant. Not only can you agree or disagree on the statement but you can look to see the percentage of people that agreed and the percentage that disagreed. You can also take this a step further by clicking opinion details and finding comments from people who have voted, why they voted that way. You could also promote the webpage or topic to friends on other social media sites. It is a debate website where you can see others opinions and feelings about certain topics. You can also follow people who have the same or different opinions as you and add your own opinions for people to agree or disagree with.

__INCORPORTAING IT INTO THE CLASSROOM:__
I feel this site could be used for younger and older students. Obviously older students could have more of a debate and do more diverse topics but even younger students could vote on certain topics that the teacher has previewed and create their own things to be voted on. It is hard to incorporate debate and social studies into younger grade levels so this would be great to have students predict what others will agree with and disagree with and then be able to view their comments and find the exact number of people who agreed or disagreed.

This is a great example of some of the basic content that is listed that students could vote on. Then they could see what others thought of the question and view specific comments on email being an outdated way to communicate.

I was also able to create my own opinion "Dogs are better than cats" simple and something a younger child may think. This could start a debate as to why and have the students vote in the class. They could then predict if people are going to agree or disagree with their opinion. I was able to add my own article to back up my opinion and a picture of my choosing. I think this would be great for teachers, they could chose a few things to vote on everyday and then pick one thing that the students can put up themselves a week to tract and see what people think about their opinion.
