“…In 3% of the studies analysed the level of education was not specified. The education sector in which the largest number of studies was identified is at university level (Blair, 2013;McCarthy, 2013;Roblyer, McDaniel, Webb, Herman & Witty., 2010;Sezen, 2012;Staines & Lauchs, 2013;Tiryakioglu & Erzurum, 2011;Veletsianos & Kimmons;, although other studies were found to have been carried out at other levels of education such as secondary albeit in a minority (Doerr-Stevens, Beach & Boeser, 2011;Fardoun, Romero, Alghazzawi & Ramírez, 2012), as well as in other educational settings such as training courses (Ranieri, Manca & Fini, 2012). Other studies did not specify the level of education (Cheung, Chiu & Lee, 2011).…”

“…The research conducted demonstrates that the main concern of the academics in all levels of education has been, until now, to analyse what the main results of the integration processes of SNS are in higher education teaching (Junco, Elavsky, & Heiberger, 2013;Lam, 2012), secondary education (Doerr-Stevens et al, 2011;Fardoun et al, 2012) or in teacher training (Ranieri et al, 2012). This common interest appears to be related to the fact that it is a recent type of technological development which has spread very rapidly among the population, something which has prompted the academic community to seek to examine from different subject areas in the different variables of the use of SNS.…”

This paper presents, for further discussion, a review of the scientific literature produced internationally on the use of Social Network Sites (SNS) in different levels of education and settings. A total of 62 articles published in international scientific journals with peer review have been analysed. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the most recurrent lines of research since the emergence of these tools in education. The level of education in which research is carried out is also analysed, as well as the paradigms and methods used for data collection. The analysis leads to the conclusion that most of the studies analysed have been carried out in higher education, from a quantitative paradigm, focusing on the use of SNS as educational tools. This article shows that research into SNS in education is at an early stage of development, and it demonstrates the need to widen lines of research on SNS in media education to include as yet unexplored dimensions.

The school is part of our society, which increasingly uses more and more the social networks. Therefore, we must continue this momentum, not only by using them, but by also guiding the students of its proper use. Thus, most educators working with high and middle level schools are aware of the involvement of young people in social networks, but few of these educators are prepared to deal with them the issue. Experts discuss the risks and benefits of such sites, and the role of schools, to offer a comprehensive approach that addresses the needs of online students. This paper seeks a solution to the complex world of social networking in education, where users can belong to a social network not as such, but as a set of objects that define a necessity. This research work tries to redefine social networking of an online community, where objects that work on the same stage define the team. To do this we propose a school architecture, where objects define the curricular activities, with known characteristics.
