“…These were two students in Alkhatnai's (2019) study and one in Kutbi's (2015) study: the former listed drawbacks such as deterioration of classroom dynamics (lack of in-class interaction, reduction in teacher's authority), over-reliance on SNS by students, and lack of clear classification of information (Alkhatnai, 2019, p. 103); the latter was against the use of SNS as she was a first-time user and because she did not have access to the internet at her home (Kutbi, 2015, p. 74). Furthermore, some students were resentful of the perceived disrespect of religious values expressed on SNSs (Aifan, 2015) and some disapproved of content deemed inappropriate (Alqasham, 2018a). Teachers were apprehensive of using SNS in the classroom due to fear of distraction (Alshammari et al, 2017;Allam & Elyas, 2016), although they did acknowledge their pedagogical value.…”
