Vasileios Gougas , PhD Student, Faculty Of Primary And Preschool Education, St. Kliment Ohridski University Of Sofia, BulgariaAbstract
These days, educators, not only in Greece but also throughout the world, seem to use the Social Network Sites extensively. The aim of this particular report is the formation of a questionnaire that focuses on the effect that comes with the extensive use of the SNS. Particularly, Thessaly-based educators participated in the conduct of this survey. The results have shown that the use of the SNS has gradually declined and that those who still recourse to them do that in order to socialize.
