The psychological aspects of the network educational activity of students are considered in the article, the ambivalent character of the psychological consequences of information interaction is noted. For example, the Internet provides students with large scale and opportunities for information interaction, it allows you to quickly receive up-to-date information. On the other hand, network resources create mediated communication between people, in which products of information exchange become knowledge without active interaction of participants in this process. Students involved in network communication become "consumers" of the content of various information resources. This situation may threaten the security of the individual. The problem of self-organization is relevant in the process of personal and professional self-realization, and in the effective allocation of a temporary resource. Planning the use of your life time is an important component of modern life and indicators of their personal effectiveness. Personal propensity for self-organization is considered an important component of personal potential, which allows it to resist undesirable changes in the surrounding world. The authors conducted an empirical study of the self-organization of activities of students in the context of networked educational activity. Students who prefer active educational communication, daily plan their activities on the assimilated principles. They fix the pre-planned structure of the organization of events in time, are tied to a clear timetable, use external means of organizing activities. The inadequate development of students' ability to concentrate on the goal and streamline the activity make them more prone to dependence on the Internet.
