Hello,
Generally, speaking, social media have revolutionized the educational landscape by offering fantastic opportunities to both students and teachers for learning and interactivity. In point of fact, the application of social media has given rise to the emergence of an educational theory which has recently gained a dramatic momentum in the literature by opening new vistas for learning at schools. Consequently, many teachers are finding it to be increasingly effective as a method of connecting with other colleagues, sharing information ,and enabling students to manage their learning through interaction. The main reason is that social network tools provide teachers, students and institutions with multiple, unprecedented opportunities to improve learning methods which cannot be provided and supported by traditional face to face classes.
