The aim of the research is to examine the relationship between students’ personality types (extraversion, introversion, openness to experience and closeness to experience) and their preference of various Web 2.0 tools to describe how these tools can be utilized in educational settings. Specifically, the study investigates which of the Web 2.0 tools are preferred and best meet the need of the different personality types. The participants included 22 students who were in their third year in the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technologies of the Sakarya University during the semester of Fall 2014. Five of these students were introvert, five were extrovert, six of them were open to experience and six were closed to experience. These students were selected with the purposive sampling method out of 30 students who were subjected to the Adjective-Based Personality Test. According to the results, students’ preferences of using social media differed by their personality types. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram were the most popular tools among students. Results from the study also indicate that it is critical to utilize the most preferable and practical Web 2.0 tools so that students with different personality traits could adapt to the class. Furthermore, measures need to be taken to prevent possible negative consequences of using these tools.
