Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate how teachers at SEEU use social media tools in and out of their work. Social media as an innovative tool can be developed to enhance teaching instruction and enrich learning practice. It also can help shift to a model of connected teaching. Social media could also enrich professional practice and offer clear support in working with students. It is clear from the results that teachers are actively and purposefully using social media to support their professional activities. The results showed that teachers and students are well-informed, self-taught, and sophisticated users of social media and consider Facebook, blogs, YouTube and others to be valuable tools in their work and personal contexts.
