In today’s educational landscape, social media is pivotal for school communication, so how do we determine which are the right platforms?

In an era dominated by digital connectivity, the role of social media in education has become increasingly pivotal.

While social media has long been sidelined by schools, there has been a recent shift in critical thinking towards the usage of these platforms.

It is vital that schools and students alike receive guidance in selecting the most suitable platforms, with ones that cater to the needs of primary education up to universities.

As schools embrace the positive impact of social media, experts highlight the importance of leveraging these platforms to enhance communication, engagement, and collaboration within the academic community.

From sharing educational content to fostering a sense of community, social media has proven to be a valuable tool in shaping a dynamic and inclusive learning environment.

However, as the education sector embraces the advantages of social media, it is crucial to address potential risks associated with online platforms.

By fostering a safe online environment, schools can ensure that the positive impact of social media is maximised, while minimising potential drawbacks.

Mike Loder & co-founder of Enquiry Tracker, Greg Campitelli are joined by founder and president of Enroll Media Group, Angie Ward, to discuss this pressing educational topic.

Elon Musk shifts SpaceX focus from Mars to a 2027 Moon landing, merging with xAI for AI satellite networks.

Elon Musk has set his sights closer to home—literally. SpaceX is now prioritizing the creation of a self-sustaining city on the Moon within the next decade. The ambitious plan marks a major shift from previous Mars-focused strategies, aiming for an uncrewed Starship landing as early as 2027 to support NASA’s Artemis program.

This pivot comes as SpaceX merges with Musk’s xAI, combining the companies into a massive $1.25 trillion valuation. Musk believes the Moon offers practical advantages for launches, making it a more strategic stepping stone for humanity’s future in space.

Alongside lunar ambitions, SpaceX is also developing satellite networks to back AI technologies in orbit. Despite the excitement, NASA’s Artemis program has faced delays, pushing the first crewed lunar flight to March due to technical issues.
