Social media plays vital role in learnig and improving awarenessof different cultures,teaching methods, languages and environment at student's door step.

Social media is very powerful platform if we use it positively because it is a source which plays role of global circle. On social media one plus point is every one has access of it's resources like there is no any restriction on the basis of qualification or field or race etc this feature of social media creates a huge difference in learning because everyone can share his/her content according to his/her idea and resources and all the users of worldwide can share their opinion. If that content gets appreciation the owner of that content will get confidence to work on that topic for more enhancement while if someone gets criticism similarly that person will get a chance to improve his/herself so the students who are consuming that content will definitely get idea but can implement in different ways too by just getting guidance from that content.
So we need to set roadmap for our students how they can be beneficiated by using social media

Yes, I have initiated educational topics through social media, particularly using WhatsApp groups and Facebook educational pages. I once shared a thought-provoking article and a short video related to environmental sustainability, followed by a discussion question. The response was very encouraging—students actively participated, shared their opinions, and even brought in examples from their local surroundings. Some even created short awareness videos and posters using Canva, which they posted in the group.

The instant feedback, peer engagement, and variety of perspectives made the discussion more meaningful than it might have been in a traditional classroom setting. It also helped students who are usually shy in class to express themselves more confidently. Overall, it was a positive experience that reinforced the value of integrating social media into teaching.

Yes madam, I tried many times to use social media platforms to communicate and assign task to students. I guess I live in an environment that is not supportive to this. Social media platforms if used correctly and positively, can yield good results.

Hi rida
Yes, I have started a topic through social media. The response from students was very good. They were more active and interested. Social media made it easier for them to share their ideas and ask questions. It helped improve their communication and made learning more fun.

@Ridafatima95 yes.Social media can be a valuable tool for enhancing communication skills and increasing student engagement.
Social media can facilitate group work and collaboration among students.

@CUTEKfc710a7c49 “Social media can help students learn by connecting them with useful information and people from around the world. It makes learning more interesting and opens up new ideas.”

@Ridafatima95 yes miss rida. I also initiated a math topic through social media to engage a wider audience and spark interest in mathematical concepts. It was a.great fun not only for students but also for me.

Yes, I’ve used social media to start discussions, and the response was very positive! Students were more engaged, shared ideas freely, and enjoyed the interactive format. It really helped build collaboration and interest beyond the classroom.

@TEHNI58909e91f6
Yes use of social media is very necessary because children are so aware and follow social media religiously. If we use social media in education wisely we can take more benefits of it.

@Bushra-Tahir
Yes I agree Bushra.. Social media platforms create dynamic and interactive learning environments, connecting students with a vast array of educational resources and diverse global perspectives. They encourage collaboration, real-time communication, and access to expert knowledge beyond the classroom, making learning more engaging and relevant to today’s interconnected world.
