Roles of Social Media in Sustaining Lifelong Learning for Efficiency in National Development

Social media tools have become ubiquitous,
with their usage being significant among higheraffiliated students. The most popular social media tools
are Facebook, Wiki, YouTube, bulletin boards, LinkedIn,
blogging, and Twitter. The advancement of modern
technologies tries its best to accommodate the needs of
people, especially the younger generation. The findings
discovered that social media is crucially important in
lifelong learning. It is cutting-edge and changes how
people create, share, and participate in knowledge
creation. Social media enhances the sharing of
information and knowledge. It also enhances strategy in
communication across time zones and continents. Social
media provides a better platform to renew outdated
information and knowledge. It facilitates information
and knowledge sharing among people in different
regions, races, and occupations. With social media,
learning can always continue. Therefore, future
technology integration in education should focus on what
students use instead of what the school wants them to use
to guarantee maximum efficiency. When students
become the stakeholders of their learning, education will
be genuinely revolutionized through effective
collaboration between educators and students.
