Link of the implemented project https://erasmusnewcommunication.blogspot.com/. Up to now, education in new media has been the tool with which to protect young people from the pitfalls of new technologies. Today, we ask ourselves more and more `` what do kids do on the net? '' The purpose of technological education is to develop and strengthen a critical attitude towards the internet, virtual games, social networks so that young people they can learn to defend themselves, to have a critical spirit and initiative to be protagonists both in the learning period and in the working one. Young people are not the only recipients of messages on the internet, so too are families, educators, schools and institutions that play a role in the education of children.
The technological education in this house aims to build the conditions that allow the public to read the messages in a critical way. To do this, we need to be aware of the scenario in which young people use new media:

2. interactivity that allows you to establish a flow of multidirectional relationships with other users and to build social relationships of various kinds 3. the possibility of being authors, of passing from a passive state of message recipients to having a spirit of initiative, be broadcasters and be able to generate audiences interested in our content.
