I
believe that the primary reason is that social media and educational institutions should try to
make classes more interactive in order to attract the young generation.
Have you ever considered that one of the most significant disadvantages of social media among
young people is a loss of motivation to study? Obviously, TikTok and Instagram have a large
following among young people, who spend hours watching videos of celebrities and famous
people, and it appears that they have forgotten to build their own lives and have become
passive observers of others.
Indeed, the learning process appears to be quite tedious when compared to watching colorful
videos that require no effort. For example, after signing up for Tiktok, my nephew was unable
to focus on his studies without scrolling through his feed every half hour, which affected his
school grades.
I believe that schools should begin using social media and change their teaching format.
Certainly, Instagram reels or TikTok videos could be used to post teaching materials in order to
pique children's interest and encourage them to revise their knowledge during their leisure
time. Children's interests have shifted, and colleges must adapt in order to engage students in
the learning process. To illustrate, dermatologists from the United States have already used
these platforms successfully to raise awareness of skin diseases and educate people on
appropriate actions and solutions, and I have completely changed my skincare routine based on
the information they have provided.
To summarize, social media has caused a mindset shift among its users, and teachers must
"keep their finger on the pulse" in order to stay current and appealing to students.
