Resumen:
The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have grown
enormously in the last few years. At the same time, the application of
these technologies in education has showed a remarkable development. The
increasing use of social networks by students has made ICTs viable for
educative purposes. Since October 2009, we have used the blog
``Ciber-Genetica'' (ciber-genetica.blogspot.mx) to support Genetics
classes in Biology Major at Sciences Faculty of the Universidad Nacional
Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). In 2010, we implemented the use of three
different social networks: Facebook (facebook.com/ciber.gentica.unam),
Twitter (@cibergenetica) and YouTube
(youtube.com/user/CiberGeneticaUNAM) to increase the interest in the
area. These services available online provided information about the
news and events related to Genetics major Additionally, we have uploaded
presentations and videos created by our group. The use of these social
networks has been widely accepted by our students and also has allowed
greater interaction between students and teachers.
