Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive exploration of the intertwining worlds of social media and educational pedagogy. This seminal work delves deep into the cultural, psychological, and educational impacts of social media platforms, dissecting how they have revolutionised communication, participation, and community building and the potential they hold within educational settings. Dr Williams critically examines the historical evolution of technology in education, the rise and influence of platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok, and the complex role they play in shaping the modern educational landscape. With an acute focus on the theoretical and practical implications of integrating social media into pedagogy, this book offers a nuanced analysis of the benefits and challenges alongside a detailed discussion of the legal and ethical considerations involved. It addresses the need for effective, transformative pedagogy, the influence of social media on professional development, and the intricate balance between embracing the digital age and preserving the core values of education.
