Description
Summary:The information and communication technologies (ICT) have become, in a very short time, a constant element in people’s daily lives. That is why it is necessary not only to master them technically speaking, but mainly use them in a conscious and critical way. School needs to be the agency responsible for teaching technical abilities of ICT and for stimulating their critical use. Most teachers of Spanish as a foreign language who work with basic Education face difficulties to design materials which include ICT and thus fail to contribute to change this scenario. The purpose of this article is to present the routes chosen to design a didactic sequence that stimulate digital literacies of students at basic levels in Spanish Language. The methodology used to develop the material is an adaptation of the model proposed by Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004). The result is the design of a didactic material mediated by digital technologies focused on the development of collaborative writing of Spanish language and a critical reflection on the use of these tools throughout the process.
