The use of technological communication networks has become a tool which allows collaborative learning that involves specific spaces where information can be exchanged, thus encouraging cooperation. Social networks are some of the most emblematic Web 2.0 tools, which is why their study must not be overlooked. The clear popularity and fascination with these social networks among students presents a huge didactical possibility. Moreover, their use in universities in Spain as well as in Latin America –specifically Mexico– is more and more evident throughout the years. In the case of the institution Centro Universitario de los Altos of the Universidad de Guadalajara (University of Guadalajara), a study was carried out with 414 students of the 14 careers there offered. The intention of this study was to know about the use of social networks as a learning strategy. Results showed that 71% of those polled use them for school related activities, 45% to study and 42% to play, which shows the strength and importance that social networks have gained in the educational process.References
