“…Both the teacher and the students do not want to share all of their accounts/data with each other (Popuiu et al, 2012). Also in some universities or schools, adding students as a 'friend' on social media sites is not allowed or undesired, because 'that is mainly because there is a mixture between the private sphere and school's sphere' (Oberer et al, 2012(Oberer et al, , 1891. If such practice is forbidden, both teacher and students should create 'throw-away accounts', which are special accounts for the class (Dear, Potts, 2014).…”

At least a quarter of human population is actively engaging in social media. Social media possesses a high level of influence and importance. For example, social media shapes communication habits between people and provides a communication channel for business enterprises. The statement that teachers should utilise social media as a tool for improving teaching and learning experience, rather than ignoring it, is becoming a common topic for discussion. Hence the aim of this article is to analyse how to use social media in order to improve teaching and learning experience. A theoretical overview of scientific literature on the topic of social media application prospects in education is provided in this article, and a traditional input-process-output schematic for social media usage in teaching and learning is also developed.

Aunque las RRSS tienen una gran utilidad en la educación informal (Greenhow & Robelia, 2009), su uso en la educación formal está siendo estudiado y planteado en la actualidad (Bennett, Bishop, Dalgarno, Waycott & Kennedy, 2012;Hung & Yuen, 2010;Oberer & Erkollar, 2012;Taleb & Sohrabi, 2012), intentando establecer vínculos entre ambas (Dabbagh y Kitsantas, 2012).…”
