The Information and Communication Technology, of which the social media is part and parcel, through warp and woof of the millennial life is yet to be fully tapped and used in media education, let alone education as a whole.  The students, who are using new media platforms such as YouTube, email, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, are doing so, more outside classrooms than in classrooms, though social media has power to overcome all obstacles in the traditional electronic modes of communication. Rather than the educational-oriented features of social media, it is entertainment-oriented aspects that draw students into the cyberspace where they have become self-centric, self-centred and self-oriented, always looking for more ‘likes’, more ‘comments’, more ‘upvotes’ to their posts, videos and memes on anything under the sun.
