Abstract
Advancing information and communication technologies (ICT) are reshaping our daily lives. Mobile communication devices, especially the introduction of smartphones, changed the way we communicate both professionally and socially. Mobile technologies are spreading our daily lives with the help of social media applications. Implementation of social networks to the education programs may encourage students to reach information, share their work, get feedback more easily, and produce content that will build up their portfolios and professional identities for their future career. However, in order to achieve such a goal, it is quite important to understand their behavioural patterns on social networks and mobile technology use. In this context, this research tries to explore architecture and interior architecture students' social network patterns under the social media literacy framework.
