Social media refers to online services that allow users to interact, share content and information, and engage with other users. It encompasses a variety of sites and platforms including social networks, bookmarking sites, social news sites, media sharing sites, microblogging sites, and blogs/forums. While social media can positively impact education through collaboration, developing career skills, and refining creativity, it also presents challenges like reduced focus, information overload, and lack of privacy control that can impact students' academic performance and future opportunities. The impacts of social media are an ongoing discussion in education.

13. The 10 Best andWorst Ways Social Media Impacts Education
http://www.edudemic.com/social-media-education/
The Negative
1. Many students rely on the accessibility of information
on social media specifically and the web in general to
provide answers.That means a reduced focus on learning
and retaining information.
2. Students who attempt to multi-task, checking social
media sites while studying, show reduced academic
performance.Their ability to concentrate on the task at
hand is significantly reduced by the distractions that are
brought about byYouTube, stumbleupon, Facebook or
Twitter.

14. 3.The more time students spend on social sites, the less time they
spend socializing in person. Because of the lack of body signals and
other nonverbal cues, like tone and inflection, social networking
sites are not an adequate replacement for face-to-face
communication. Students who spend a great deal of time on social
networking are less able to effectively communicate in person.
4.The popularity of social media, and the speed at which
information is published, has created a lax attitude towards proper
spelling and grammar.The reduces a student’s ability to effectively
write without relying on a computer’s spell check feature.

15. 5.The degree to which private
information is available online and the
anonymity the internet seems to
provide has made students forget the
need to filter the information they post.
Many colleges and potential employers
investigate an applicant’s social
networking profiles before granting
acceptance or interviews. Most students
don’t constantly evaluate the content
they’re publishing online, which can
bring about negative consequences
months or years down the road.

16. The Positive
1. Social networking has increased the rate
and quality of collaboration for students.
They are better able to communicate
meeting times or share information quickly,
which can increase productivity and help
them learn how to work well in groups.
2. Social networking teaches students skills
they’ll need to survive in the business world.
Being able to create and maintain
connections to many people in many
industries is an integral part of developing a
career or building a business.

17. 3. By spending so much time working with new
technologies, students develop more familiarity with
computers and other electronic devices.With the
increased focus on technology in education and
business, this will help students build skills that will
aid them throughout their lives.
4.The ease with which a student can customize their
profile makes them more aware of basic aspects of
design and layout that are not often taught in
schools. Building resumes and personal websites,
which are increasingly used as online portfolios,
benefit greatly from the skills obtained by
customizing the layout and designs of social
networking profiles.

18. 5.The ease and speed with which users
can upload pictures, videos or stories
has resulted in a greater amount of
sharing of creative works. Being able to
get instant feedback from friends and
family on their creative outlets helps
students refine and develop their artistic
abilities and can provide much needed
confidence or help them decide what
career path they may want to pursue.

19. “The strength of your social
media is determined by the
strength of your content”.
