This paper investigates the use of web tools, such as pages, blogs and social networks that are associated with the institutional extension processes of official and private urban schools in Floridablanca, Santander. The research is qualitative. We observed a group comprised of five educative institutions and we interviewed the principals and managers of the web pages. With a checklist, we also observed the institutional pages. The results indicate that, for managers, the use of internet, websites and social networks is crucial to their academic work as well as to extend their work to the educational community they are dealing with daily: principals, teachers, administrative staff, general services, students, parents, alumni and former students. However, the lack of financial resources to implement more and better technologyin the educative institutions as well as the payroll designation for specialized staff with regards to these issues were identified as weaknesses. It was also detected that there is a lack of work and activity in social networks in real time with regards to the events that are occurring and are related to IE. Another aspect is the inclusion of children and young people under the age of 14 to social networks, which has created an ethical dilemma with the supplanting age access of certain websites. We conclude that there is a need to continue working on these issues emerging from the categories here.
