"Maria is a student who lives in a small town in Ecuador. She found math very hard because her school didn't have a teacher who could help her with big math problems. One day, while using her phone, she found a group on Facebook called Calculus Crusaders. In this group, students from all over the world helped each other with math. Maria started learning from them, and soon she was helping others too!"
"Before social media, students had to go to school at a certain time and place. If someone missed class or didn't have a good teacher nearby, it was hard to learn. But now, with apps like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and Instagram, learning can happen anytime and anywhere. A boy in India can learn science from a teacher in America. A girl in Brazil can help someone in Japan with English words."
Maria, a student in a small Ecuadorian town, learned calculus through a Facebook group called Calculus Crusaders and then began helping other students. Social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and Instagram enable learning anytime and anywhere, overcoming local teacher shortages and fixed school schedules. Learners from different countries can exchange knowledge, ask questions, and collaborate across time zones. Social learning uses varied formats such as videos, group chats, and interactive posts that make study more engaging. Peer support and diverse perspectives enhance learning, while misinformation and safety concerns remain risks. During COVID-19, social media sustained education when classrooms closed.
