Developing Digital Competencies in the Social Science Classroom Through Storymaps and Digital Narratives

Abstract

The publication focuses on geolocated digital narratives related to the school curriculum of Social Sciences and their practical application by future teachers of Primary and Secondary Education. In the academic year 2023- 2024, as part of an educational innovation project, it has been proposed to carry out an activity with university students to develop digital skills and learn the corresponding curriculum content, using ArcGIS StoryMaps. The activity proposal is presented, and its implementation is analyzed, also providing reflections from university teachers who have implemented it in university classrooms and students’ opinions, aiming to consider potential future changes and improvements in the development of the innovation project.
