Welcome!
Hello, Falam1216, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:12, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Social media in education
Hi! Here are two ideas on what you could do to expand the page:


 * Add a section about the benefits of social media in education. How is it beneficial?
 * Expand the history section to cover more of what led to the development of this.

Also, when looking over your sources, take notes on what the sources have that the page doesn't. Also look to see if anything in the page is out of date. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:41, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Sourcing
Hi! Here's my feedback on the sources:


 * This is a bit questionable because I'm not really finding where the institution (London College of International Business Studies) is widely thought of as an authority, so to speak. It might be usable, but it's not the strongest possible source out there.


 * This is a self-published source. In order to be usable we'd have to be able to show where this site is routinely cited as an authoritative source by places like scholarly journals and texts, which I just wasn't able to find. This one I would avoid using.


 * This is a paper published in an open source journal. Looking at the website, it looks like this should be usable, so you can definitely use this. I'd use this link when citing it, though, since this goes through the journal's website.


 * This is a webinar - I'm not used to seeing those as sources, but this should be usable. Marion Gruber is definitely a well thought of authority on the topic, so this should be OK as long as you attribute any claims to her. However my concern is more that the source may not be in-depth enough to really be a lot of use, since it doesn't seem to have any audio with it.

I did some searching and found some additional sources for you, which would be usable as sources:


 * The role of social media in higher education classes (real and virtual) – A literature review
 * Using Social Media in the Classroom: A Best Practice Guide
 * Social media for academics : a practical guide
 * Social Media Use in Medical Education: A Systematic Review (specifically looks at people in medical school, but could be helpful)
 * Engaging students through social media : evidence based practices for use in student affairs
 * Exploring the Potential Benefits of Using Social Media in Education

I was able to find some content using your university library, however to get the best results you will definitely need to set up an appointment with your university's research librarians. You can do so here and I also want to note that you can also talk to them via a chat function, as well as via email. There's a general page for research help here. Definitely check in with them since they know the library's holdings best.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:31, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Notes 2
Hi, I re-reviewed your sandbox.


 * The "Top 10 Tools for Digital Learning" list should not be placed in an article for the same reasons I listed before. It's a subjective list and the source it was taken from wasn't seen as reliable per Wikipedia's guidelines.
 * Be careful of writing subjectively as a whole. We can only summarize what is in the source material and cannot put in our own observations or examples.
 * You don't need to define social media, as the article will link to the topic page for this.

I've done an example of how this section could be rephrased. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:53, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
