The transformations in educational environments due to the immersion of information and communication technologies (ICT) make it necessary to analyze the limits and possibilities of the assessment of the virtual training process. This paper presents an analysis of the meanings of ICT-mediated assessment, establishing what kinds of knowledge are suitable for this type of evaluation, and the challenges and possibilities of virtual tools. For this, we present a systematic review of ICT-mediated evaluation and assessment according to the educational paradigms and their implementation. We highlight that contemporary pedagogical models and their implementation in ICT mediation tools show a trend towards quantitative and summative valuation. The commonly used learning management systems (LMS) include several types of questions oriented to quantitative evaluation, with multiple-choice being the most common. However, new technological approaches like gamification, virtual reality and mobile learning open new assessment possibilities. The ICT educational platforms and new technologies demand new skills for all educational actors, such as digital literacy.

Knowledge Society (KS) is influenced by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), economic changes, political, cultural and social concepts allowing access to other levels of welfare and progress. However, the differences in terms of access and ICT skills between different groups in society have created a problem of digital divide. To overcome this problem, models and strategies are required to achieve a greater impact on the population and that population can develop skills that enhance inclusion in the society knowledge. This work proposes an Interactive Ecosystem of digital literacy that aims to set a new educational paradigm approach to encourage different learning communities to uses new technologies of information and communication that allows them to be more competitive in today's world and thus shorten the digital divide. Finally, a case study is shown as an implementation of the ecosystem throughout an architectural model in the state of Aguascalientes, México.

The elderly show very low rates of access to and use of the new technologies in comparison with their significant weight in the overall population. It is essential to establish alternatives which respond to their needs and promote the access to and use of ICTs among all citizens on equal conditions. This chapter describes an experiment conducted with new technologies in the Red Cross Elderly Day Care Centre in A Coruña, using the In-TIC software and a specific methodology for intervention with elderly individuals. Three different lines of action were followed: initial evaluation of the users participating in the project; intervention by means of digital literacy and therapeutic stimulation sessions with the ICT; and final re-evaluation and data collection. The results obtained provide proof of an improvement in the users’ cognitive abilities, the acquisition of computer knowledge and skills, and the satisfaction of the elderly with regard to new technologies.

Since the early eighties, numerous experiments have been conducted in order to answer the following question: How does reading on paper differ from reading on screen? Our article presents a brief review of comparative studies in this field of research. We then look at reading models in L1 and L2, and posit that digitally displayed language actually provides a rich source of comprehensible input, and that foreign language readers can benefit from digital presentation of texts, in particular by way of eBook readers. We also highlight the inevitable and profound impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the reading brain and, as digital literacy is fast becoming the norm in today’s modern society, we draw attention to the pedagogical implication for foreign language teaching and learning.

In the present educational context, active methodologies and new technologies are aspects that should be included when teaching and learning a subject area. For the education to be successful, classroom management must be considered, since problems may arise and handicap this process. In order to promote learning and reduce negative behaviors and increase positive ones, intervention on students of 1st year of ESO (compulsory secondary education) was implemented. The intervention used gamification as the educational approach and ClassDojo as the online tool to track behavior to determine the effectiveness of both elements to achieve the goal. Taking advantage of the game design principles and mechanics in the learning environment to create motivation and interest, in addition to the information and communication technologies (ICT) represented by ClassDojo, the experimental study showed the benefit of this method and app regarding the improvement of desired behaviors as well as the decrease of the disruptive ones. The implementation engaged the students and activated their behavioral development in order to display a better performance.

RESUMO:Neste estudo, abordamos algumas proposições a respeito da formação inicial e continuada de professores de língua portuguesa no que tange ao uso das tecnologias digitais de comunicação como estratégia para reelaboração e reconfiguração de suas práticas pedagógicas. As transformações tecnológicas e digitais que vêm ocorrendo na sociedade e que, consequentemente, atingem o interior das salas de aula têm interferido em nossas práticas pedagógicas e nas relações entre o ensinar e o aprender, exigindo de nós, professores, uma busca constante por formação. Diante disso, este texto tem por objetivo refletir sobre a temática das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação no processo de formação docente e sobre a concepção de letramento digital no processo mediador do ensino e da aprendizagem para os professores de língua portuguesa. Para tanto, apresentamos uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, a partir de uma reflexão bibliográfica, tomando como aporte teórico os estudos de Castells e Cardoso (2005), de Coscarelli (2016), a respeito das tecnologias digitais, bem como das pesquisas de Soares (2012) e Xavier (2005) sobre letramento digital. Os estudos apontam para o aprimoramento na formação inicial e continuada dos professores, no caso, os de língua portuguesa, de modo a oferecer e a vivenciar situações de letramento digitalmente dentro e fora das salas de aula. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: letramento digital; Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação; formação de professores de língua portuguesa; formação docente.   ABSTRACT:In this study we present some proposals regarding the initial and continuous training of Portuguese teachers in the use of digital communication technologies as a strategy for re-elaboration and reconfiguration of their pedagogical practices. The technological and digital transformations that have been occurring in society and which consequently affect the interior of the classrooms have interfered in our pedagogical practices and in the relationships between teaching and learning, requiring of us, teachers, a constant search for formation. The purpose of this text is to reflect on the subject of digital information and communication technologies in the teacher formation process and about the design of digital literacy as a resource in the mediation of teaching and learning for teachers of Portuguese language. For that, we present a qualitative research, based on a bibliographical reflection, taking as theoretical contribution the studies of Castells and Cardoso (2005), by Coscarelli (2016), regarding digital technologies, as well as Soares’s researches (2012) and Xavier (2005) on digital literacy. The studies point to the improvement in the initial and continuing training of teachers, in the case of Portuguese-speaking teachers, in order to offer and experience literacy situations digitally inside and outside classrooms. KEYWORDS: digital literacy; Digital Information and Communication Technologies; Portuguese teacher education; teacher education.
