In order to collect information about the digital literacy of students, before and after the intervention, it has developed a questionnaire based on the ICT Competency Inventory. The instrument was applied to a sample of 162 students divided into two groups: one control group (80) and one experimental group (82). The results showed that the second group achieved a medium level in the variable “digital literacy”, in which the “knowledge of digital tools” outperformed.
