In Southern Africa, teachers are adopting this trend and exploring the potential of social platforms as effective teaching tools. With the advent of online learning and the necessity for innovative teaching methods in Southern Africa, educators have increasingly utilized social networks to engage students and enhance learning experiences. The times have changed when traditional classrooms were the only means of education, and the COVID-19 pandemic hastened the adoption of online learning, prompting teachers to rethink their approach to instruction. Educators quickly adapted to the new reality, realizing that in the digital age, the role of social platforms in education is significantly heightened.
"It is important to understand that teachers do not simply transfer their teaching to the online space, but actively use the possibilities provided by social media platforms," says a researcher. "This allows them to create interactive learning experiences, altering the dynamics of the classroom and facilitating communication between students and instructors."
The use of social networks in education is becoming an indispensable part of the everyday life of teachers in Southern Africa, contributing to more effective communication, increasing access to knowledge, and creating a more engaging learning environment.
