Impact Statement<\/span><\/p>

The rate at which business education students fail examination is on increase. In order not to produce half-baked students, there is need to look into the usage of social media of students. As a lecturer, I take 10 minutes of my lecture to educate them on dangers of social media and effect it has on their academics. Majority of the students no longer place or watch Facebook, YouTube etc. again in the class. Parents have experienced tremendous change in their children. There is improvement on the academic achievement of students. This research will provide valuable insights to the future researchers and will support the students and parents by providing authentic outcomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
