The "Technological Good" in the Multiliteracies Processes of Teachers and Students

This article focuses on the importance of media literacy and digital skills play in strengthening the cultural profiles of the population. In particular, it considers the “technological good†as an element that is part of a symbolic system of culture that can create new forms of “thin inequality.†In this sense, the contribution examines the relationship between new forms of literacy and media skills in an attempt to explore how technologies are transforming the traditional literacy of teachers and students, as well as of the rest of the population, and how this will lead to new ways of thinking, acting and being the teaching and learning. The heritage technological, individual, and social, reshapes the culture and its size, inducing the education, at all levels, to building curricular activities most appropriate to the needs of a knowledge society and the profile of the literate of the 20th century.
