Abstract

Abstract: The rapid evolution of social media has profoundly impacted various aspects of life, including education. This article explores the dual-edged influence of social media on children's education, highlighting its benefits and challenges. Social media platforms offer innovative learning opportunities, access to diverse educational resources, and enhanced peer collaboration. However, excessive use can lead to distractions, cyberbullying, and misinformation, ultimately affecting academic performance and mental health. The study emphasizes the importance of guidance from educators and parents in ensuring that children utilize social media responsibly and effectively for educational purposes.
