Summary
Policies concerning education training are being transformed into a sustainable structure. Technological developments and changes are seen as the main catalyst for the change in these education policies. Social network is a platform which provides its users with the opportunity to share their personal information including ideas, activities and interests as well as their communication and social relationship information with other people through their networks (Jones, Blackey, Fitzgibbon & Chew, 2010; Tiryakioğlu & Erzurum, 2011). In this way, social network users can define themselves in community life and interact with other people who are interested in the same area, and they can selectively block people with whom they do not want to interact (Boyd & Ellison, 2007; Kwon & Wen, 2010)
