    From the explanation above we know that some teachers use social media as learning tool in the teaching and
    learning process, and even for giving students' assignment. Teachers in the classroom tend to use the social media for
    sharing knowledge between the members of the classroom. Nevertheless, some other teachers see that social media
    give bad influence towards students' learning process, since students who use a lot of social media tend to get lower
    learning outcomes than those who do not actively use social media. This study suggests that the use of social media for
    learning is better implemented outside the classroom as a learning task and should be supervised and limited by parents
    at home.
