Challenges and pedagogical strategies in school teaching with digital media

This article aims to contribute to understand the challenges faced by teachers regarding the current transformations caused by the use of technologies and digital media in the classroom with respect to teaching and learning in schools. We present the main findings of a research project in which a five-stage pedagogical device was designed and implemented, where three teachers from different public schools located in Cali participated. With this device it was possible to explore how teachers guided and accompanied their students in the development of class projects, through the incorporation of various digital resources and media languages. The results suggest that the teachers started from a problematization that not only shaped a series of steps to follow but was also updated in the subsequent stages. This required them to permanently mobilize strategies, resources, and competencies. Thus, the teachers deployed their agency to solve different needs and unforeseen events during the development of each project.
