The History we want: a proposal on the teaching of History for the social networks

The article proposes a way to use social networks in History classes, through pages in which the students can make messages relating the contents of the classes to their personal realities and experiences. Theoretically, it is based on the concept of student protagonism, articulated with the practical past, taking the realities of the students not just as a starting point to reach the historical knowledge, but also as an arrival point at which this knowledge will help understand and read the present reality in a critical way. What have been observed is that using the social network promotes a better engagement of the students and enhances their sense of protagonism over their own realities.
