With the emergence of the Internet our lives changed radically. The use of social networks represents for the human being a virtual link with society, changing the way we relate and communicate with others.
Some people even interact more with their peers in this way than in physical form; a situation that directly or indirectly impacts their emotions by involving elements such as sense of belonging, acceptance or recognition.
Therefore, schools must find ways to incorporate the use of social networks in class as part of teaching strategies, which promote a link with students, but which, in turn, facilitate the teaching-learning process.
The good use of social networks allows students to access a lot of information, develop technological skills, as well as promote and facilitate the free expression of their emotions and ideas, as well as the identification of the teacher with his or her students by getting involved in activities and interests that are part of their daily lives.
