Abstract

This paper explores student-teachers' use of social networks, specifically Bebo and MySpace. It investigates whether student-teachers' use, or level of use, of these applications is related to their views of the potential of technology for teaching and learning. Their perceptions of a technology-enriched classroom are also considered. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire. They indicate that students' perceptions of how technology enhances learning, or of a technology-enriched classroom, are not related to their use, or non-use, of social networks.
