Paraphrase :
Because learners waste extra time on online platform for reasons other than learning, this
creates distraction from the educational setting, reducing students academic development
(Bekalu et al., 2019, Hettiarachchi, 2014).
Summary :
Online social network can reduce students academic development (Bekalu et al., 2019,
Hettiarachchi, 2014).

Paragraft :
In conclusion, although social media can improve student learning systems, from what
Bekalu have said, social media can also interfere with the academic development of students
if they are not used optimally for academic purposes.
