Social media and technology have influenced on all facets of life as 
they develop rapidly. The proliferation of social media and technology 
has changed the way educators teach, how students learn, and the way 
teachers and students communicate. Teachers are now facilitated by many 
apps to teach and communicate with not only their students but also the 
students’ parents.
There are many online applications for teachers settled in the 
websites that can be used for our language teaching and learning process
 in the classroom.

learning process. TED education tools also grouped those online 
applications based on the course objective and the learner’s need;

2. For everyday classroom needs,
3. For collaborating on school projects,
4. For communicating with students (and their families), and
5. For giving (and receiving) student feedback.
Moreover, students can ask the teacher about the material they don’t 
understand yet whenever and wherever as long as the internet connection 
is accessible or online quiz through social media as well. It can be 
more effective because that kind of test doesn’t use paper, so it is 
good for environment, and it is well programmed between the question and

students’ work. Besides that, students can explore knowledge from any 
literature through the social media by themselves. In short, the teacher
