Abstract: The integration of social media into students’ academic and social lives has sparked intense debate. While concerns about the negative impacts of social media abound, this study highlights the positive effects of social media on students’ academic performance and social skills. A comprehensive review of existing literature reveals that social media can enhance student engagement, motivation, and collaboration, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes. Furthermore, social media platforms provide students with opportunities to develop essential life skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. This study demonstrates the potential of social media to support student learning and development, and highlights the need for educators and policymakers to harness the power of social media to create positive learning environments.
