THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN SLOVAKIA
Abstract
Social media, including blogs, wiki, social networking, YouTube, virtual social worlds and virtual game worlds, provide their users the most modern way of communication. Instant interaction and feedback as well as low costs are the advantages that enable learning through many-to-many communication. This paper questions are aimed at theoretical definitions of online communication and social media. The hypotheses are verified through an independent research. The aim of this research was to determine how students perceive the impact of social media on education in the educational system in Slovakia. The research highlights the benefits of using social media and the negative impacts that may affect the learning process. Learning becomes more personal and with a larger potential for connected, collaborative activities. Social media use the full potential of virtual mobility in education to provide international learning experiences, without the need for physical mobility. It is expected that a good use of ICT will provide solutions to current challenges of international education. Differences in language, customs, culture, in comparison with a good connectivity and electricity access, and familiarity with ICTs and self-directed learning approaches means that social media will be a viable education model for many people around the world.
