In addition, it facilitates learning by making students an active member of the learning environment by planning activities by taking into account the social studies teaching principles, offering options suitable for students' individual differences and giving instructions, helping students make their own decisions, and creating an active learning environment in the classroom. The emergence of the Internet and social media has significantly changed media coverage and perception and understanding current concerns about fake news has required considering the new social dynamics brought by new media technologies.
