Abstract

In the era of accelerating digitalization, social media has become a powerful tool in various aspects of our lives, and the education sector is no exception to this profound transformation. Sites like YouTube, with their enormous potential for publishing and sharing visual content, have emerged as a driving force in reshaping traditional educational concepts and opening new horizons for interaction and knowledge exchange.

This analytical study highlights the role played by social media sites, specifically YouTube, in enriching the educational process. Given the growing role played by educational content creators on these platforms, this study uses the "My Teacher, Take My Hand" YouTube channel as an analytical model. This channel, with its diverse educational content available to a wide range of students, seeks to embody the potential of YouTube as an influential educational tool. This research paper reached several conclusions, the most prominent of which is that the "Teacher, Take My Hand" channel places utmost importance on the quality of educational content over quantity, preferring to present focused and condensed videos within an appropriate timeframe. The channel also relies significantly on traditional educational methods, represented by the blackboard and textbook-based explanations in presenting lessons.
