What is it about?
Young people can be classified according to posting frequency and type of posts: Seldom posts, Posts of photos, selfis and videos, Posts of texts, music and other content, and Posts of all sorts of content. One of the strategies for developing competencies related to the production, consumption and post-production of media in the context of youth culture is the guided construction of personal digital stories, as well as enabling the expression of one’s own voice, something which achieves good results in both formal and informal education. We consider it necessary to adapt this thinking to new posting habits and to the four profiles we have identified.

Personal digital storytelling and social networks in teenagers
This study aims to rethink the personal digital storytelling (DST) with the new forms of communication based on the content that appear on social networks, as well the central value of the image in all of them. First, an attempt has been made to map the main functions of the DST in the Spanish curricular plan of Secondary education, from 11 to 16 years, and some of the associated competencies. Secondly, a survey has been built on the forms of publication in these same networks. The results are analyzed, obtaining some differences by age, country and sex, although with large doses of similarity. Finally, we propose some didactic suggestions on how to incorporate the results of the survey.
