Since the emergence of the novel Corona-Virus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its attendant effect which span through all aspects of human endeavours including education, it has necessitated both the instructors and the learners to adopt and adapt several mobile and social media applications for instructional delivery and learning purposes. These mobile and social media applications allow for synchronous and asynchronous instructions and learning. Telegram as one of such media has proven to be a better substitute to the conventional classroom for both instructors and learners alike. Research lately across different discipline have consistently yielded results that tend to emphasize that Telegram utilization is an effective online instructional delivery medium. It can be used for creating and sharing online live and recorded videos/presentations and ensuring learners’ participation by asking them to make comments. The platform encourages self-paced learning via internet enabled mobile gadgets and eliminates or reduces the requirements of physical learning environments. In view of the crucial role that Telegram plays in effective instructional content delivery, if and when well implemented, this paper takes into consideration a general overview of Telegram Application, outlines the features, benefits accruable to using Telegram for instruction, and also the advantages and disadvantages associated with using Telegram for instructional content delivery in post COVID-19 era.

This paper examined the level of usage of emerging technologies in the teaching and learning of Social Studies in secondary schools in Ogoja Education Zone of Cross River State, Nigeria. The paper maintained that teaching and learning are crucial in any educational endeavour, and Social Studies is an indispensable component of the school curriculum that requires the best, modern technological approach in its pedagogical process. The study was anchored on Bruner’s theory of instruction and survey research design. The population comprised all Social Studies teachers in public secondary schools in Ogoja Education Zone of Cross River State. This amounted to 234 teachers and 1855 students in five local government education authorities (LGEA). Using stratified and simple random sampling technique, three LGEAs were selected from which 72 teachers and 282 students were chosen for the study. A structured and validated questionnaire was the major instrument for data collection. Data was analysed using simple percentages, mean and standard deviation. Result showed that only very few teachers and students were aware emerging technologies and the utilisation in the study area. The major challenge in the use of emerging technologies is unavailability and inaccessibility of resources to procure and operate the technologies. It was recommended that faculties and colleges of education should provide adequate teacher-education training to enhance teachers’ capacity to use emerging technologies in schools.
