Abstract


We are facing a great impact of social networks on our daily functioning. Part of that is the influence of social networks on our education systems.
This paper gives an overview of Facebook impact as a social network in specific, as well as the results of the study we carried out in Varazdin. The aim of the study and this paper was to find out for what purposes students at the second level of education (high schools) use Facebook when it comes to their school obligations.
The results that are shown in this paper can be easily used throughout institutions that are responsible for education systems (especially schools) in order for them to adopt curriculums and information sharing in a way that is most suitable for their students. Future research studies can as well be carried out based on this paper.
