    1) Social media can both positively and negatively impact student learning. It can provide easy access to educational resources and allow for collaboration, but can also be a distraction from studying. 2) Anonymity on social media enables cyberbullying among students, as perpetrators feel they can avoid consequences. This lack of accountability also reduces empathy for victims. 3) While social media makes sharing personal information simple, it risks loss of student privacy as platforms use data for advertising and security breaches can occur.

    What are the factors of the effects of social

    media in student learning?


    1.) Distraction from academic obligations: According to the article on theblogbold.com by Melissa
    Dvorsky( https://staging-theblogbold-staging.kinsta.cloud/technology-doesnt-have-to-distract-from-
    learning/), technology does not have to be a distraction from learning. In fact, technology can actually
    enhance the learning experience if used effectively. The key is to use technology as a tool, rather than a
    distraction. This means setting boundaries and limits on screen time, and using technology for specific
    tasks and purposes, rather than just leisurely browsing or scrolling. By using technology in a purposeful
    and mindful way, it can actually help students stay focused and engaged in their learning, rather than
    distracting them from it

    2.) Cyberbullying: One major factor contributing to cyberbullying and harassing behavior among
    students is the anonymity afforded by the internet. According to a study published on Science Direct,
    (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405844018359474) many students who engage in
    cyberbullying do so because they feel that they can get away with it without facing consequences. This
    anonymity can also lead to a lack of empathy for the victims of cyberbullying, as the perpetrators may
    not feel a personal connection to the individuals they are harassing. Additionally, the ease of access to
    social media and other online platforms has made it easier for students to engage in cyberbullying, as
    they can do so from the comfort of their own homes or on their personal devices. Overall, the
    combination of anonymity, lack of consequences, and easy access to technology has contributed to the
    prevalence of cyberbullying among students.

    3.) Collaboration and communication: According to educational technology journal


    (https://educationaltechnologyjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41239-021-00306-6) has
    demonstrated that students can communicate with one another using social media, work on projects
    and assignments together, and share ideas and expertise. Even if they are far away or not near you, it
    can aid them in having effective communication. It can be used for video calls to communicate

    4.) Loss of privacy: Social media platforms frequently instruct users to share personal information,
    which can be used for targeted advertising and may also be at risk of being compromised by hackers.
    This can lead to a loss of privacy for students, who may not fully understand to implications of sharing
    their personal information online.

    5.) Easy to access: The internet is much simpler to use and makes it possible to obtain information
    quickly. By watching videos, step-by-step tutorials, and entertainment, find information more quickly,
    and learners can understand concepts and complete assignments more quickly. However, because of
    the ease of internet access, students run the risk of watching inappropriate or dangerous videos.
    Additionally, because videos may have violent or deceptive information in addiction to sexual or
    propagandist content, it can significantly affect their mental health. Students should take caution when
    using the internet to avoid viewing any potentially harmful content

    6.) Sharing talents and feelings: The internet can provide a platform for connecting with others who
    have similar interests or experiences to those of students who may feel lonely or detached in their
    offline life. Additionally, the internet makes it possible for a larger audience to see and appreciate their
    abilities and feelings, which can provide students with a source of affirmation and inspiration.

    7.) Global Marketing: Students throughout the world are being impacted significantly by global
    marketing. Along with the increasing commercial competitiveness, it has expanded both the accessibility
    and availability of goods and services. This has increased the variety of options available to students,
    enabling them to make wise purchase decisions. Global marketing has also had an impact on how
    students see and engage with various cultures, fostering understanding and interaction between them.
    By broadening their alternative and encouraging cultural understanding, global marketing has, overall
    benefited pupils

    8.) Accessibility: Students can use social media to access learning materials and participate in discussions
    at any time and from any location, which is especially beneficial for students who have busy schedules
    or prefer to study at their own pace. This adaptability can help students fit their studies around their
    other obligations, making learning more accessible and convenient. It can also help students who live in
    remote areas or have mobility issues because they can access educational resources and participate in
    discussions without having to travel. Social media's convenience and flexibility can improve learning
    retention and engagement and according to the NCES, in the 2018-2019 school year, 99% of public
    schools had internet access, and 97% of classrooms had internet access
    (https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=91). This high level of internet access is important for
    students, as it allows them to access online resources and engage in online learning opportunities.

    CONCLUSION:

    Social media can influence kids learning in good and bad ways. On the plus side, social media can give
    students access to a wide range of learning materials, such as articles, videos, and online courses.
    Students may use it as a platform to engage with one another and together on an assignment. Social
    media can divert attention away from studying, so some students end up spending more time looking
    through their accounts than really learning. Additionally, it can aid in the dissemination of false
    information and cyberbullying, both of which can harm kids’ mental health and general well-being. In
    conclusion, both students and teachers need to understand how to use social media platforms for
    learning in a responsible and balanced manner.
