YouTube as a didactic tool for literary education in Secondary School

Currently, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are at the centre of the social life of the new generations, which is why the development of digital competence (DC) has become one of the main objectives in today's education. Likewise, in the field of social networks, the YouTube platform stands out for its audiovisual format and its frequency of use by young people. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to show the educational possibilities offered by YouTube, both for the development of digital competence and for critical thinking and creativity. To this end, a proposal has been drawn up based on a dual approach to students' abilities: on the one hand, as receivers, and, on the other, as producers and transmitters of content.
