Furthermore, social networking would motivate student collaboration on a variety of projects and assignments. According to Tarantino, McDonough, and Hua, “Learners need to develop skills to share knowledge and to learn with others, both in face-to-face situations and through technology including social media.”. That means students must learn to collaborate with one another to complete work, which will help in the future with co-workers.

However, John is missing a crucial aspect that businesses must add to obtain value from their customer basis, he must find a way to create an online relationship with his current and potential customers. Engagement is the key to trust, conversation and social media gives your business a voice. Social media is no longer a trend; it is a necessity for business. With a strong Social Media presence, 401 Games can effectively interact and share online with customers, which increases its brand visibility. 401 Games can also use its Social Media pages to obtain personal feedback from customers. Social Media is a dialogue where people with similar interests can interact and share things that they like and dislike about a product or the business. Consumers do not limit their online expressions and opinions to businesses with a Facebook page or a Twitter account. By not engaging in social media, 401 Games is ignoring these discussions and limiting their ability to participate, apologize or defend. Social media is the best way to find out what your customers are saying about your brand.

With the help of the Internet a company no longer is dependent on a particular customer base to survive because now it can reach out to a worldwide audience within seconds. It’s imaginable the countless business attributes of all social media to this day and still is growing. Social media
The Internet is an extremely efficient medium for accessing and communicating information. Marketing on the Internet has been widely developed over the past decade, especially within the use of social media. Businesses see social media as an advantage when it comes to building relations with customers, as well as increasing customer retention levels. It is an informal way for businesses to reach their consumer bases, allowing them to maintain communication with their target audience on a more personal level.
