Educational Technology to Support Reading Comprehension and Writing Competency Processes Through the Use of Writing in Virtual Learning Environments

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have energized communication and facilitated interaction in society, eliminating spatial and temporal barriers and becoming an essential tool for the contemporary world. In the educational field, reading comprehension and writing skills, approached through purposeful writing practices mediated by ICTs, can have a significant impact on teaching and learning processes, for which it is essential that teachers encourage the development of digital and media competence through the renewal of their pedagogical practices, and guide students in the assertive use of ICTs so that they can participate in the construction of their own knowledge and contribute to the improvement of society.
