Abstract The aim of this descriptive research is to investigate the effect of information technologies, internet and social media use over the students and has been analyzed in terms of the personal, social, educational dimensions via the students’ window and to generate resources for future studies. The participants of the study consisted of 400 vocational high school students at a high School, which is located in the town of Onikisubat in Kahramanmaras province center in Turkey. In the research, a questionnaire developed by the researchers was used in order to determine the influence of internet and technology tools on the success of the students in their daily experiences in information technology, internet and social media usage. The students pointed out that the students use the internet and social media to communicate, learn and communicate well with the social environment they find practical, fun, easy, accessible and useful. It is also noteworthy that the usage areas are wide and the usage rate for increasing the education process and school success is high. When the students in the study are thought to be young people living in rural areas and studying in vocational high schools, it can be interpreted that internet and social media access, acquisition, usage frequency and duration in the light of findings may be lower than in higher schools in central provinces with high student levels. Keywords: Internet Use, Social Media, Technology Tools, Social Network Sites, Digital Learning Community.
