I would like to know more about the very reasons why people do involve in social media and online games. Can I get research evidence demonstrating how this media habit can be used to facilitate lifelong learning?
Thanks
Social networking sites are an important means of leisure for individuals and a suitable opportunity to empty emotions through those sites, so that these sites are no longer limited to young people, but they include the elderly and women in the homes, that these sites an opportunity for self-development, but that does not mean that they are all positive But have negative characteristics so it is necessary to reduce the negative effects on individuals, especially adolescents
Social neworks are great to expand communication on different topics of ones' interest. They can be used for LLL as people get together and can mutually learn, discuss, ask questions and give answers. It doesn' t need to be formal learning...
