%X The objective of this study is to comprehend how teachers prepare their  students for 21st-century learning using social networking technology. Data in  this research was collected through observations and interviews. The  interviews were structured and comprised open-ended questions. The data  was analysed using qualitative methods. Six teachers from an international  school in Kuala Lumpur were interviewed in this research: two teachers from  its kindergarten, two teachers from its junior school, and two teachers from its  senior school. The findings showed that the teachers had integrated social  network technology in creating a 21st-century classroom. The use of  technology helped them to transform teaching in their classrooms. It helped  them to prepare their students for the global digital transformation taking place  at present. Integrating social network with 21st-century learning in the  classroom benefited both the teachers and students. Most of the social network  applications are easy to use. Once a week, the teachers attended technical  professional development training organised by information technology  specialists and technicians to upgrade their skills and learn to use the latest  devices and applications in order to support the transformation of their role  towards learner-centred 21st-century learning.
