The mass media is a communication technology that substantially affects people's patterns of views, lifestyle, and culture. Electronic media is a type of mass media that is more popular and feasible than print media in conveying and receiving the latest news and messages. Therefore, awareness should be created among students in using social media for their learning to prevent the spread of immoral values and manners that can harm their self-identity, family and society. A scholarly standard as an effort to monitor social media content at the university level is very relevant in the era of technology that can guide students in particular and society in general. A holistic model needs to be developed for social media education in the technology era that uses social media a lot to ensure that consumers use it morally following legal and the principles of a nation. This holistic model gives some implications for social media education, offering the proper use of social media in learning and teaching based on the correct principles and guidelines. It is very significant to positively impact the development of students' personalities, and this will contribute to the thriving culture through the proper use of social media among young generations.
