Educative proposal of web 2.0 for the encouragement of social and citizenship competence

Abstract

Nowadays the web development is increasingly oriented towards social and participative uses. This tendency is generating the sense that we are going into a "second step" a new and "improved" version: Web 2.0. In this report we present a proposal for the use of this web in order to develop the "Social and citizenship competence" introduced by the Spanish educational legislation (LOE, 2006) that regulates the content of the school curriculum. In this proposal we have taken into account both the potential of the 2.0 applications to encourage cooperation and social relations and the activities or instructional strategies required to encourage the contents implied in the social and citizenship competence.
