Social media plays an important impact on students, not just in school, but also out of school. It has some pros and some cons. For some students, it could distract them from their school work, and for others, they might learn something that they haven’t learned in class.
Social media could be used for lots of other things other than posting pictures and videos. Now social media has AI technology that can be used to help students cheat and do other things.
Students spend most of their time on social media, including TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and many others. They tend to spend more hours on social media platforms than studying for a quiz or test.
Misinformation and cyberbullying tend to spread very easily, making it easy to spread false information and cause mental health problems.
Things like this could harm students’ academic progress as they may think about it throughout the school day and make it harder for them to focus on their schoolwork.
On the other hand, social media is a great way for students and teachers to share educational information. Teachers across the country share educational content, and students can access their study materials and receive online tutoring and advice.
Another positive thing about social media is allowing students to express themselves and their creativity. Students are able to interact with their peers and gain recognition for their achievements.
Social media has both positive and negative effects on students. It offers educational opportunities and the opportunity to learn new things. However, students should be aware of the negative effects, such as cyberbullying, the spread of misinformation, and addiction.
