Use of social media can enhance communication skills and increase students engagement

---

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.

@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.

@Ridafatima95 Yes, I have initiated a topic through social media. The response from my students was very encouraging. They actively participated in the discussion, shared their thoughts, and even brought in additional resources like videos and articles. It created a more collaborative and engaging learning environment. Social media made it easier for shy students to express their opinions and for everyone to stay connected beyond the classroom.

@Ridafatima95 Yes, I’ve used social media as part of my teaching, and the experience has been very positive. I created a Facebook page called "انيستي ندى" where I regularly upload my lessons, videos, and share creative ideas that I apply in class.

The feedback has been amazing—many teachers follow the page, and they often comment, like, and even share my content with their own networks. It has created a kind of collaborative spirit among educators.

My students also love it! They’re always excited to see their classwork or projects featured on the page. It has created a friendly competition where pupils do their best in class, hoping to be published. This enthusiasm from both teachers and students really motivates me to keep going and to create even more content.

Overall, using social media has helped me build a stronger connection with my educational community and has made learning more fun and inspiring for everyone involved.

@Ridafatima95 Yes, I once initiated a learning topic through a social media poll and discussion thread—students were highly engaged and shared thoughtful responses. It sparked curiosity and encouraged collaboration beyond the classroom.

@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.

Dear Engr,

thank you for your feedback

@Ridafatima95
Yes, I have initiated a learning topic through social media—and the response from my students was surprisingly enthusiastic!

I used a private class group on Facebook to introduce a discussion around a real-life application of math concepts. Students responded actively by sharing examples, videos, and even memes related to the topic. The informal platform made them feel more comfortable expressing their ideas and asking questions.

What stood out the most was the peer-to-peer interaction—students replied to each other’s posts, offered suggestions, and even helped clarify doubts before I had the chance to step in. It truly created a collaborative learning environment beyond the classroom.

Using social media also gave them the flexibility to engage with the topic at their own pace and time. Tools like polls and story questions helped me gather quick feedback and spark further discussion.

Overall, it made the learning process more relatable, interactive, and student-centered. I believe when used thoughtfully, social media can be a powerful extension of the classroom.

I’d love to hear how others are leveraging it in their teaching!

Social media, when used thoughtfully, can be a powerful educational tool. It supports interactive learning, fosters communication, and prepares students for the digital world.

@Ridafatima95
Yes, I have initiated topics through social media, and the response from my students was overwhelmingly positive!
I used YouTube, a social media platform, to show my students a weather report. They were very excited to watch it and found it engaging and informative.This activity sparked meaningful discussions and encouraged creativity.I must say that the interactive nature of social media made learning more dynamic and accessible.

@Maryam-Jawed
That's a fantastic idea! I think using social media to explore math topics is a great way to make learning more engaging and accessible to a broader audience. By sharing math concepts and problems on social media, you can spark curiosity and interest in students and even attract people from outside the classroom. It's wonderful that you and your students had a great time exploring math together, and I'm sure it helped build a sense of community and enthusiasm for learning. As a teacher, I've seen firsthand how technology can be leveraged to make learning more fun and interactive, and using social media is a brilliant way to do just that.

Yeah it's very useful in today's learning its much helpful
