At present technologies have already penetrated in all spheres of human life. All fully employed people cannot imagine their work without a computer nowadays. In addition, more and more people also use social network sites on a regular daily basis, either for private and/or business purposes. In this study the authors attempt to firstly define a concept of social network sites as well as explore their types. Secondly, the authors of this article discuss pedagogy behind the creation of a social network from all stakeholders' point of view. Thirdly, they set a few pedagogical principles, including the universal principles set already by Jan Amos Comenius in the 17th century. Finally, they emphasize the potential of educational social networks in students' motivation to learn.
