Newman  \nUniversity of Arkansas  \nMichael T. Miller  \nUniversity of Arkansas  \nSocial media has become common ground for many high school and college students, and its use has the potential to impact learning. With fast response times and immediate availability of ideas and data, students change their perceptions about how education should be experienced. This study explored how high school and college students view the value of social media as a learning tool, and findings showed significantly different perceptions about how social media aids learning. These differences provide a foundation for discussion among educational leaders about the transition of students from high school to college and about how social media can be used effectively for instruction.  \nSocial media have become common place both within the worlds of business and private life. These digital locations have evolved from niche communication tools, to common elements that promote public and private agendas, commerce, education, and transcend multiple social classes. Social media are used for multiple reasons, including romance, entertainment, education, professional networking, product sales, and an online etiquette has even emerged regarding how to appropriately interact online (Kryder, 2013) . The core of social media “is the ability to share content with others”(Osterrieder, 2013, p. 26), and the skills to effectively moderate social media have begun to be well documented. These skills include a technical ability to navigate the internet, self-teach skills about uploading media, discern and learn about the nuances of particular software programs, and the abilities to write, read, and edit language at a level and in a manner consistent with the media, such as what is frequently used on Twitter (Guenard, Katz, Bruno, & Lipa, 2013; Kryder, 2013; Osterrieder, 2013) .  \nEducational Leadership and Administration: Teaching and Program Development  \nVolume 25, March 2014  \nISSN 1532-0723 © 2014 California Association of Professors of Educational Administration  \nSocial media has the ability to engulf an individual’s interests. Much has been made about the role of social media in peer relationships, and whether or not extreme use of social media is good for a young person’s education. In particular, there have been concerns expressed that social media or technology skills do not translate well to other academic areas or interests, or even among grade levels (Smith, 2008) . This has been a common refrain in much of the public education sector, where the connection between secondary and postsecondary education has been described as inconsistent, broken, and in need of better and stronger articulation (Capps & Miller, 2006) .  \nAs Capps and Miller noted, there are multiple challenges for a student’s progression from secondary school to higher education. As Common Core standards emerge and are set in place, the hope is that students are better prepared for college, and although the standards do offer levels of particular content knowledge, they do not reflect study skills, maturity, or developmental aspects of academic performance that are key indicators of collegiate success. Additionally, higher education has generally not performed well, and the majority of multiethnic students who arrive on campus do not graduate (Bowers, 1992), and nationally, only about 60% of those who begin higher education graduate within six years (Schneider, 2008) .  \nThe poor performance of secondary students moving into postsecondary education has prompted a growth in state-level policy mandates that incentivize higher education institutions to pay more attention to student graduation rates (Thaddieus & Thomas, 2011) . One activity many institutions have embraced is the inclusion of a web- or technology-strategy that includes social m","cbCaikIYyaIkh1Ft","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikIYyaIkh1Ft","pdf",186271,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Background of the Study\n# Social Media and Higher Education\n## Institutional Use and Classroom Integration\n## Challenges and Policy Context","[{\"question\":\"How does the study describe the role of social media in student learning?\",\"answer\":\"Social media is presented as a common ground that can influence learning by enabling fast access to ideas and data and by supporting content sharing.
