Nice one Amende, I agree that social media improve means of communicating and build lasting friendship. For example, shy student can check new information about events on twitter which falicitates one to one encounter with others, thus intaraction and a sense of belonging is created. On the hand, prolonged internet can produce addictive stimuli that can damage the brain function and learning skill. http://www.slideshare.net/ej-luna/social-media-in-education-advantages-disadvantages
