Los nativos digitales y el uso limitado que dan a las herramientas tecnológicas

Abstract

This study aims to identify the knowledge and use of different technological tools by Cuenca’s high school students (digital natives) in order to determine whether or not training is needed and in which areas. For this purpose 400 surveys were conducted to high school students aged between 14 to 18 years. Interesting and innovative data was found in terms of technological use given by students to social networks, browsers and other tools. There’s much to be done in the multimodal communication and multimedia area. The results show potentialities and shortcomings, which can be increased or solved with planned training.
