Resum
Nowadays we live in a society surrounded by digital technology, this is nota fact we can refuse as we trust on so many electronic devices for working,communicating, spending our free time, etc. Thus, we can affirm thattechnology help us to make our lives easier. However, we cannot takethese assumptions for granted when we analyze how education goes. Inmany schools teachers and headmasters refuse to use technology withinthe classroom as it may represent something dangerous as for example,they can complain students can make a bad use of technology, just forhaving fun and not learning.Here, I will show a model about how to work on the digital competencewhile learning a second language in 4º ESO. Social tasks are the mostsuitable way for working on key competences and with the one we willinclude here the focus will be on digital competence, learning to learn andcultural and awareness expression and, of course, linguistic competence.Apart from that, part of the social task includes working on hypertextthrough a Webquest, and it will reinforce the use of ICTs for didacticpurposes. The use of hypertext is vital as an ICT resource and source ofinformation and base for transforming the information that we obtain fromthere. For us, hypertext is a tool that allows us to create and managehypertext documents, as the documents created with these tools.
