Abstract: Social media constitute an innovative technology that has transformed the way that people communicate and collaborate. Social networks and Web 2.0 tools like wikis and microblogging have the potential to be used by tutors in their courses with the aim to enhance the learning efficiency of educational systems and eLearning procedures. In this work, we study the educational capabilities of social media and web 2.0 technologies like Twitter, Wikispaces and TodaysMeet, exploring their educational potential and learning capabilities and examining their impact on students’ learning. The social networks have been extensively evaluated in real classroom conditions and the results collected indicate that the proper utilization of social networks and web 2.0 tools in terms of students’ active engagement can motivate and improve students’ learning.
