Abstract. The present article aims to present a reflection, within the Ibero-American context, on the use of digital resources in the classroom and its relationship with media education to highlight common points and diverse strategies in addressing both aspects in education systems, as well as to establish the main challenges for a real media education that could take advantage of new technologies in the classroom. The methodology used for this purpose is mainly based on a systematic review of the litera­ture on the subject performed between the years 2012 and 2018.

Additionally, it presents reflections from experts in media c...
