The past decades have brought many changes to education, including the role of social media in education. Social media data offer educational researchers first-hand insights into educational processes. This is different from most traditional and often obtrusive data collection methods (e.g., interviews and surveys). Many researchers have explored the role of social media in education, such as the value of social media in the classroom, the relationship between academic achievement and social media. However, the role of social media in educational research, including data collection and analysis from social media, has been examined to a far lesser degree. This study seeks to discuss the potential of social media for educational research. The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the process of collecting and analyzing social media data through a pilot study of current math educational conditions.

This study, it was aimed to reveal the perceptions of teachers, students, and parents about the concept of “social media” through metaphor. In this study, which used a phenomenology design, which is one of the qualitative research methods, the data were collected using a structured online metaphor form. A total of 166 people participated in the study with the role of teacher, student, or parent. Among these, responses matching the metaphor structure of 136 people were analyzed using the content analysis method. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the metaphors were classified under the categories of “Addiction”, “Not real”, “Everything is in it”, “Communication channel”, “Usage”, “Indispensable”, “Feature”, and “Harmful”. The participants mostly used the metaphors of “bottomless well”, “life”, “drugs”, “swamp”, “news tool”, “alcohol”, “mask”, “car”, and “virus” for social media.

This paper examines the role of community media organisations in the diffusion of digital literacy. In Australia, a number of media organisations, established by the so-called ‘digital generation’, are experimenting with new training methods and content forms. Such groups aim to provide their constituents with deep and immersive media opportunities. We examine the methods and outcomes of SYN Media (a youth-run media organisation in Melbourne) and discuss the implications for digital literacy. Our research suggests that, although the systems and forms that make up digital literacy are in still under development, organisations like SYN are allowing that development to occur. Both audience and the particular habitus of the media workplace are important factors in SYN's success.
