THE ERA OF FAKE NEWS: DIGITAL STORYTELLING AS A PROMOTION OF CRITICAL READING

This paper considers the early stage results of the Media In Action project, particularly related with these two questions: What reflections arise when we consider digital storytelling in the context of the news processes in the training of teachers who work with children and young people? What are the most appropriate processes for such training, not only in how to apply the training but also in its contents? Initial results indicate a huge interest on techniques and theoretical frameworks on digital storytelling and the parallel need to better understand the information and news contexts in this digitalized society. At the same time, it was found that they are quite interested in collaborative practices and knowledge exchange among peers.
