Abstract
Instagram has meant in recent years a revolution in the way in which young people relate to each other and, however, its presence as an educational tool in the area of Spanish Language and Literature continues to have very little presence. Even its use is penalized in many educational centers. In this context, we carry out a proposal for educational improvement through a case study in order to activate motivation about the spelling of students in 4th year of Compulsory Secondary Education. Three mixed groups from a public school (71 students in total) participated in the study. The results of the spelling activity show that the student of these educational levels (14 or 15 years old) is more receptive to integrating spelling when these explanations are made from Instagram. The work we have done is an invitation for teachers to accept the educational potential of social networks as a strategy that improves learning and increases their motivation.
