This study investigates integrating social media into secondary school curriculum and its impact on interaction between peers as well as students and their instructor. In doing so, the study highlights different platforms that educators use, how they integrated it within their classroom, and if it increased or decreased collaboration and communication in any ways. In the study, master teachers chosen by my institution's principal (N=2) were interviewed in a semi-structured format about forms of technology they used, benefits they saw, and potential limitations. These interviews were transcribed and coded revealing three major themes: (1) facilitating cohesion, (2) student-student engagement, and (3) student-instructor engagement. Findings revealed that social media can facilitate cohesion among students and their peers in addition to students and their instructors. Participants noted that social media strengthened student relationships inside and outside of a classroom setting, as students often shared resources like instructional videos with others. Overall, this study suggests that social media platforms have a positive impact on student engagement, collaboration, and communication in the classroom.
