Digital technologies and the Internet have revolutionized the way people gather information and acquire new knowledge. With a click of a button or a touch on the screen, any person who is wired to the internet can access a wealth of information, ranging from books, poems, articles, graphics, animations and so much more. It is imperative that educational systems and classroom practices must change to serve our 21st century students better. This study examines the use of Edmodo as a social media to teach a course in Pedagogy to a class of digital natives. The media is used as an out-of-class communication forum to post/submit assignments and resources, discuss relevant issues, exchange information, and handle housekeeping purposes. A survey of students' responses and discussions on their participatory process leads to insights on how the social media helps achieve the required competences.

This paper analyses the major modifications created by the “social turn” i.e. the emergence of social media. It presents the drastic change of ecosystem created by the three “continents” of the Internet. This sets up the context of deployment for “information disorders” such as radicalisation and disinformation. The analysis then considers the risks and opportunities for Media and Information Literacy: on the one hand, the rise of fact-checking and the increasing interference of social media platforms; on the other hand, the augmentation of the Media and Information Literacy epistemology and the Media and Information Literacy paradigm shift entailed by information disorders. It concludes on an agenda for Media and Information Literacy in 21st century.

Now a day’s Artificial intelligence is very important. To eradicate the media piracy on the internet we are going to implement the technique called the page replacement algorithm by using the artificial intelligence. Detecting and stopping by manually it is not possible to remove manually. The page replacement algorithm will help to detect the media piracy on the internet. Internet means that any of the social media platforms like gmail ,youtube,drives etc. By using this page replacement algorithm we are going to achieve. This algorithm will helps to detect it will divide into the number of frames each page has the several frames .Each frame in the page get scanned by the page replacement algorithm . Based on this technique replaces the page that used for the long period of time. This page replacement algorithm has to work very fastlly and consumes the less memory. This technology has controlled by the any government companies. The government has specified companies to detect such piracy. The LRU technique maintains the backward of the page. This LRU helps within seconds to detect the piracy on the internet.

Developments in information and communication technologies have raised the issue of the intergenerational digital divide that can take place between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”. Despite emphatic claims concerning how educational systems must take into account the specific characteristics of “digital natives”, sound empirical research on these topics is lacking, especially for Europe. This paper presents the results of research performed during the course of 2008, studying how university students in Italy use digital technologies. The research is based on a survey of 1086 undergraduate students at the University of Milan-Bicocca, complemented by focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of our research show that, even if university students are familiar with digital technologies, the general possession of high level skills in accessing and using the Internet should not be taken for granted.

Almost half of the country’s entire population uses the internet. The digital neighborhood is becoming larger the mediated interaction. What we now call online is nothing but a reflection of offline except its physicality. Like other social phenomena, religion and religious discourse is also a part of cybersociety. Religion in cyberspace is often dubbed as “cyber-religion”. Debates on religion often lead to the intention to harm the opposite group and contending faiths transform peace into communal animosity beyond cyberspace. Thus, society gets heated by hostile communal performances. In contemporary Bangladesh, online piety is an exclusive phenomenon that has considerable importance. Observing the dynamics of online religiosity, this paper focusing more on social media tries to present a concise overview of digital Islam(ism) and the social psychology of online Islamic piety in the context of Bangladesh.

As it is always with new inventions in human history the role they play in their early stages is mostly none acknowledged before they make a more widespread impact. The social media is one of them. Due to the new aspects that this relatively new kind of media its role is mostly negligee in favors of the more vastly popular other forms. In the kind of era that we live technology means that the place where we get the information is irrelevant in the grand scheme of the things, however that does not mean that the impact is lesser or higher. To make the example more clear even though a news that the currency is going to raise or lower in the USA- for example its mostly limited to the USA citizens it has a dire impact in the rest of the world, but even though the means for this news is the generic media, the ones to give the means to understand and make amends to prepare for the consequences to the rest of the world. Due to this kind of functionality is always difficult to separate where the generic forms of the media begin and where the social media begin. What is interesting is that this function of social media begins since the first forms of the internet and it’s just more pronounced nowadays. As an example of this functionality the more prominent one is the way Turkey interfered in the Kosovo Crises. More than the generic news and political affiliation at the time the most impact in the public opinion did the social media. This paper is a research in this regard. It’s not very detailed and it shows a general picture of the situation and only deal with the main aspects of the behavior of the social media, however is a beginning which shows the great impact all forms of communications, especially the social media.

Knowledge creation is particularly important for organizations in order to innovate and securetheir existence over time (e.g., Mount & Garcia Martinez, 2014; Nonaka & von Krogh, 2009;Von Krogh, 2012). Recently, organizations typically strive to create new knowledge by settingup social media platforms (Razmerita, Kirchner, & Nabeth, 2014). Hence, there is growingscholarly interest in the role of social media, i.e. digital technologies of the Web 2.0 generation(Leonardi & Vaast, 2017) in collaborative knowledge endeavors (Hemsley & Mason, 2013;Kallinikos & Tempini, 2014; Leonardi & Vaast, 2016; Neeley & Leonardi, 2018; Voigt &Ernst, 2010; Wagner, Vollmar, & Wagner, 2014).Yet, the majority of social media studies focuses on knowledge sharing (e.g., Majchrzak, Faraj,Kane, & Azad, 2013; for recent overviews, see Leonardi & Vaast, 2016; Panahi, Watson, &Partridge, 2013). In particular, scholars highlight that social media facilitate knowledge sharingbehavior in organizations in a unique manner due to their unique affordances, i.e., the“perceptions of an objects’ utility” (Treem & Leonardi, 2012, p. 145), which cover visibility,editability, persistence, and association for the ‘object’ social media (Leonardi & Vaast, 2015;Treem & Leonardi, 2012). These scholars further speculate that the affordances of social mediamight also contribute to knowledge creation (Leonardi & Vaast, 2017).
