For several years now, the term 'digital natives' has been used to refer to the generations that have been born immersed in the technological world. But does this guarantee that they make good use of this space that currently occupies a central place in our daily lives?
In response to this question, Inés Dussel, academic and researcher in education issues, has dedicated part of her career to questioning the idea of digital natives. In a interview for the Tiching blog, notes that:
«That is not true about digital natives. Some research shows that the knowledge they have [the students] They are very rudimentary, precisely because they are intuitive. "If we ask them to make a video, they know how to record and edit, but they don't know how to get the most out of the tool."
From this reflection, we can understand the need to go beyond the technical use of the tools that the youngest already master, and understand the responsibility that education has regarding digital literacy. Do you know what this concept means? We will explain more to you soon.

In this way, by occupying a primordial place in today's society, the digital world could not be left behind. This is how the digital literacy It can be defined as "a person's ability to perform different tasks in a digital environment." (Unite, 2001)
