4. Learning Process through
Social media
Instructors and students are teaching and learning at
many locations across the web. This includes
encouraging an active role for students in online
components of courses. Instructors are welcome to
explore these new technologies. Many different
classroom response technologies are being used
across the campus by the faculty, staff and students.

5. In The Classroom
Having social media in the classroom has been a
controversial topic in the 2010s. Many parents and educators
have been fearful of the repercussions of having social media
in the classroom. There are concerns that social media tools
can be misused for cyberbullying or sharing inappropriate
content. As result, cell phones have been banned from some
classrooms, and some schools have blocked many popular
social media websites. However, despite apprehensions,
students in industrialized countries are (or will be) active
social media users. As a result, many schools have realized
that they need to loosen restrictions, teach digital citizenship
skills, and even incorporate these tools into classrooms.

6. Effects on Interpersonal
Relationships

Social media is used to fulfill perceived social needs, but not all
needs can be fulfilled by social media. For example, lonely
individuals are more likely to use the Internet for emotional
support than those who are not lonely. Sherry Turkle explores
these issues in her book Alone Together as she discusses how
people confuse social media usage with authentic
communication. She posits that people tend to act differently
online and are less afraid to hurt each other's feelings. Some
online behaviors can cause stress and anxiety, due to the
permanence of online posts, the fear of being hacked, or of
colleges and employers exploring social media pages.

7. Harmful Effects
There are several negative effects to social media which receive
criticism, for example regarding privacy issues, information
overload and Internet fraud. Social media can also have negative social
effects on users. Angry or emotional conversations can lead to real-
world interactions outside of the Internet, which can get users into
dangerous situations. Some users have experienced threats of
violence online and have feared these threats manifesting themselves
offline. Studies also show that social media have negative effects on
peoples' self-esteem and self-worth. The authors of "Who Compares
and Despairs? The Effect of Social Comparison Orientation on Social
Media Use and its Outcomes" found that people with a higher social
comparison orientation appear to use social media more heavily than
people with low social comparison orientation. This finding was
consistent with other studies that found people with high social
comparison orientation make more social comparisons once on social
media. People compare their own lives to the lives of their friends
through their friends' posts.
