A vital focal point in this piece is how youths of higher education construed or misconstrued social media as a form of modern technology and for what purpose it could be effective in promoting teaching and learning most especially within a society with an educational system that faces challenges upon challenges (covid-19 pandemic, academic strikes, school closures, outdated reference materials etc).
