Abstract

We live in the digital age, which confirms the relevance of so-called informal learning, which occurs outside of school (or in school itself), outside of the official curriculum. It is therefore necessary to consider to what extent a given environment influences or does not influence the formation of values ​​in an individual. In this context, where the sources institutionally and historically intended for education are undergoing changes, what is the role of schools today, if information, technical content and theoretical knowledge are available to everyone on the internet? Today, what deserves attention is also teaching individuals how to use the internet, developing their ability to analyze and filter information, ultimately developing critical thinking. Based on the assumptions of ancient and contemporary authors and philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Rousseau, Jaeger, among others, we seek to understand a little more about the issues related to the formation of values ​​in young people in the context of social networks.

I have a degree in Journalism, a PhD in Education and a postdoctoral degree in Media Studies from The Open University in England. I am a professor at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro in Uberaba, MG, where I coordinate the Postgraduate Program in Education, teach the subject "Communication, Education and Technologies" for the Geography degree, the subject "Media Education" for the History degree and the subject "Critical Reading of the Media" for the Bachelor's degree in Social Work. In the Master's degree, I teach the subject "Media Education" and collaborate in Research Seminars. I supervise undergraduate and master's students. I was a scholarship holder of the Minas Gerais Researcher Program of Fapemig and a visiting researcher at the Institute of Educational Technology of the Open University in England and the Institute of Education of the University of London, now University College London (UCL). Throughout my academic career, I had new projects funded by the agencies Capes, CNPq and Fapemig. I have worked as a consultant for the UNESCO office in Brazil and I am currently collaborating with the master's degree course in Educational Sciences at the Katyavala Bwila University in Angola, where I teach the subject "Information and Communication Technologies Applied to Education". I have published articles and book chapters, but what I really enjoy is being a blogger. I write the "Blog da Mídia-educação", where I give honest reports on what it is like to work with media in teaching and learning processes.
