This paper presents a study about social networks, one of the most successful current phenomena on the internet can be used as support and academic tools being an extension to the educational practices, allowing continuity of contents taught in the classroom, arousing students’ interest in participating in the reinforcement activities in an area already known to them and making this a sharing environment where teachers and students can exchange information and knowledge about certain topics or enhance ways of learning with the dynamism that these technologies can provide the academic community, achieving a result many times higher than that usually reached in the classrooms and also highlighting the formation of social character of the student as a citizen, because this will be interacting in this environment of collectivism.
