State-of-the-art technology has been increasingly penetrating schools in recent years. Learning environments are turning into innovative learning environments that introduce new options and opportunities to education, including the use of social networks in school instruction. Social networks have proven successful in developing students’ cognitive skills, a collaborative environment, and so on, while some research on this issue has been more subject-specific. Proceeding from reports by teachers and scholars, and the author’s own experience and ideas, this article presents proposals for using social networks in literature instruction. Based on a literature review, it can be concluded that it makes sense to incorporate social networks in literature instruction, but only if teachers plan activities in line with their students’ digital literacy, take their interests into account, and, while planning their classes, ensure that privacy protection and general online safety are provided for.
