Heritage Conservation in Secondary Education Curriculum A Didactic Proposal Based on the Application of ICT

AbstractThis proposal seeks the involvement of secondary education students in the enjoyment, knowledge, and therefore, preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. The research focuses on the field of heritage conservation in secondary education to try to understand the proper incorporation of these educational contents in curricular and extracurricular school activities. To appreciate and respect the cultural heritage it is essential that students understand the structure of the territory, learn to make hypotheses on its functioning and be trained to promote actions to improve it. The aim is to fill a potential gap in the educational curriculum by creating heritage-related contents and diffusion methods. hi addition to the competencies of art education, we have included characteristics of the appropriate use of ICT that, as we shall see, are fundamental tools to carry out this proposal successfully. These competencies are focused on a Web-based office suite (Google Docs) and other Google free online applications: Google Maps and Google Art Project
