Abstract

The emergence of social media in the 21st century has revolutionized social interaction among individuals and groups beyond physical and geographical boundary. Social media tools such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, MySpace, Skype, Messengers, etc. have affected our traditional face-to-face interaction. It has facilitated extensive communication and sharing of knowledge in the society in general and schools in particular. In the academic field, social media serves as a powerful tool for communication. This chapter, therefore, explores the use of social media for sharing information among undergraduate students.
