Social media can be used as an effective educational tool to increase collaboration, communication, and active learning among students. Popular social media sites for educational purposes include Edmodo, Blackboard, Wikispaces Classroom, and Skype. These sites allow students and teachers to communicate, share course materials and notes, work on group projects, and participate in video conferencing. However, overreliance on social media for education can also lead to student distraction and lack of control over inappropriate content. Other digital tools like blogs, wikis, and virtual learning environments provide additional ways to enhance teaching and learning through collaborative online spaces.
