Abstract	Abstract With the rapid advancement of digital technology, social media and online collaboration tools have become integral to modern education. This study explores the impact of these digital platforms on student learning, focusing on engagement, knowledge retention, and academic performance. The research examines how platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube, along with tools like Google Docs, Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, influence students' learning experiences. A mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews with students and educators, is used to assess the benefits and challenges associated with these tools. Findings suggest that while social media enhances student engagement and collaborative learning, it can also lead to distractions and misinformation. Online collaboration tools, on the other hand, improve teamwork, communication, and productivity but require digital literacy for effective use. The study concludes that a balanced and structured integration of these digital tools in education can enhance learning outcomes while minimizing potential drawbacks.
Keywords	Key Words:Social Media, Online Collaboration Tools, Student Learning.
