In what ways can educators leverage the use of social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok to promote empathy and active listening skills among students, while also ensuring a balance with offline interactions and real-life scenarios?

Educators can leverage social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok to promote empathy and active listening skills among students by using these platforms to share stories, perspectives, and experiences that encourage understanding and compassion. They can also use social media to facilitate discussions and dialogues that promote empathy and active listening. However, it is important for educators to ensure a balance with offline interactions and real-life scenarios by incorporating face-to-face discussions, role-playing activities, and community service projects that allow students to practice empathy and active listening skills in real-world situations. This holistic approach will help students develop a deeper understanding of empathy and active listening both online and offline.
