The aim of the course is to reinforce the critical nature of students in relation to the use of digital technologies, but at the same time provide digital skills that enable a comprehensive and effective use of these.
To this aim, from the beginning of the course, students were encouraged to choose and analyze a specific case or phenomenon, of special interest to them, in which the impact that digital technologies have had on their development will be clearly appreciated.
The result has been the writing of twelve articles, which address topics as varied as school coexistence, teaching and learning processes, gender relations, feminism, the digital divide, irregular immigration, new ways of building relationships sentimental, human trafficking, social movements, among other relevant issues, which have been strongly conditioned by the incidence of digital technologies and the internet.
Along with these twelve articles, five other works that address similar topics have also been included in the book, and at the same time serve as a framework for theoretical and conceptual deepening of the book. Two of them were made by fourth-year students of the Pedagogy degree, and three by the faculty of the subject.
