摘要：Despite the widespread use of social media by students and its increased use by instructors, very little empirical evidence is available concerning the impact of social media use on student learning and engagement. This paper presents a comprehensive review of how social networking sites have a influence on students’ life. The micro blogging and social networking platform are most amenable to ongoing, public dialogue – for educationally relevant purposes can impact college student engagement and grades. This study provides experimental evidence that social networking site can be used as an educational tool to help engage students and to mobilize faculty into a more active and participatory role.
