Resumen: This work recapitulates the foundations and didactic principles of geography teaching by means of resources based on Geographic Information Technologies and geoinformation, but specifically in the examples of collaborative cartography at different scales, as these present the necessary actions to respond to the need to improve digital competencies and increase the adoption of digital education methodologies. Through its implementation in the Geography Teacher Training Master's Program for Secondary Education, but also in the schools involved in the internships, the digital literacy of teachers and students has been developed in a comprehensive manner through the use of collaborative mapping. Digital literacy is implemented by the use of Geographic Information Technologies (GIT), in such a way that five competence skills are developed: (i) instrumental; (ii) cognitive-intellectual; (iii) socio-communicational; (iv) axiological; and (v) emotional. The ultimate goal of this pedagogical approach is the acquisition of (digital) spatial citizenship capable of facing current challenges, and promoting local changes, with the purpose of making global impacts.
