Abstract: Information exchange takes place in every community and the advancement of computers and the use of the Internet has made it simpler for people of all communities to communicate information. Teachers also may share personal experiences, information, and communication with their peers in the profession. They can also improve their expertise and skills. As such, the purpose of the present study was to compare the effect of knowledge sharing via Adobe Connect and Google Meet on English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ creativity. To do so, 60 EFL teachers from 15 high schools were asked to fill the creativity questionnaire. Then, to find the role of the social platforms on EFL teachers’ creativity in their teaching, a week after the treatment, the questionnaire as the posttest was given to the EFL teachers. Next, a semi-structured interview with 20 volunteers sought the Iranian EFL teachers’ attitude toward the role of social platforms in their creativity. Overall, the finding indicated that knowledge sharing through Google Meet has more significant effect on EFL teachers’ creativity compared to Adobe Connect. In addition, it was found that the teachers agreed with the positive effect of both social platforms on their creativity. The findings have implications for pedagogy as well as further research.
