social media can improve a student’s ability to communicate with other people by exposing them to new people every single day. with each one of these new exposures, there comes a possibility for the student to have a conversation, really about anything and everything. as the student gets more comfortable with talking to others, their social skills will improve at school. this could mean a more outgoing personality, more visibly engaged in the lesson (asking more questions/ answering more questions) and talking to their peers rather than sitting alone. of course, social media has many bad qualities, but it really does have some good qualities as well.
