In the changing world with technology, differences and new expansions are seen in the education structure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate design education and the design process in terms of Web 2.0 software and social media application. In this context, studies on the structure of social media in education have been examined. As a methodology of the study, document analysis and descriptive research method, among the qualitative analysis methods, were used to reveal the subject's current state. As a result of the study, it was determined that social media contributes positively to education, as in every field, and changes the learning structure of students. In addition to the contributions such as the ease of access to information in design education, it has been observed that there may be negative consequences such as the loss of the original structure in design and deterioration in the professional culture.
