Nevertheless, the use of ESN in education is connected to solving a number of psychological, pedagogical, organizational problems, with strengthening of information security rights, protection of data in information networks. The article deals with electronic social networks as a factor as a factor of indirect action on development of modern learning environment. Conclusions are supported by numerous polls data of students, parents, teachers, education managers from different countries (Ukraine, the USA and Europe) on the use of social networks in general and their inclusion into the teaching and educational process in particular. The point of components of IC competence of teachers, which involve use of social studies and educational networks in teaching and an issue of learning situations and educational project development using ESN are controversial. >>>>>
