Abstract

Education has gone beyond the academic area, becoming a virtual movement thanks to which we can find educational-themed profiles on any social network.

The visibility and influence of education in families, professionals and society daily life is positive, although it is essential to discern reliable information from that which is not.

This paper analyses the 500 most influential Spanish profiles on the social network Instagram. For this, the education category of the Starngage tool has been selected. The profiles are categorized based on the published content and analysing those whose dedication is specifically related to education.
