“…In some cases, social media provided a medium for communication, but not a medium for sharing the product created by students (e.g., Garcia-Garcia et al, 2017). In other cases, social media offered learners a space to communicate, collaborate, create, and share their work (e.g., Paraskeva et al, 2015). In another instance, the social media application was also used only as a medium for sharing students' work, and not allowing the possibility to communicate or collaborate using the features of the social media (e.g., Sari et al, 2020).…”

“…In-service teachers in a graduate-level course designed their lesson plans and developed their course material using wikis (Chen et al, 2015). In another study, pre-service teachers created different products (e.g., concept maps and presentations) using wikis in order to discuss internet safety (Paraskeva et al, 2015). Facebook was used by middle school students to write poems (Widodo et al, 2016).…”

Social media have been increasingly used by youth to communicate with peers, access information, share creations, and express themselves. As a result, educators and researchers have recognized the potential for using social media to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Some scholars have also identified a relationship between social media integration and promoting student creativity. However, as with any educational technology, using a tool, such as social media, does not automatically increase creativity. In other words, the specific methods used to integrate social media as part of a learning experience affect the tool’s influence on the learning process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to review literature considering the use of social media in formal learning environments and examine their relationship with enhancing student creativity. We conducted a search to locate empirical studies (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed method) published between 2010 and 2020 from the Academic Search Premier, Education Full Text, Education Source, ERIC, and PsychINFO databases. In the results, we describe how social media were used for instructional purposes in the selected studies and discuss the social media affordances that lead to fostering students’ creativity. Additionally, we provide recommendations for educators interested in integrating social media into their teaching practice, specifically to boost student creativity, and we offer suggestions for future research.
