This article aims to analyze and understand the
ICT based communication of Galician preteens; their
knowledge and attitudes in the area of Communication and
Collaboration of Digital Competence (DC), especially in
relation to interaction, netiquette and digital identity. For
this, a mixed methodology is used ‒multiple case study and
DC evaluation‒ taking the DIGCOMP model as a reference.
The results show that there are competence gaps, difficulty in
terms of transferring learnings between contexts, gender
differences in habits and capacities and the important role of
the family in the whole process.
