The Digital Participation in the construction of the e-democracy and digital citizenship. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.13, pp.126-146. ISSN 2007-7467.

This work documents and explores an exercise of Citizen Participation and digital citizenship in Mexico through the analysis of an interactive tool called PlenoCiudadano, launched in September of 2015. This application seeks to manage the relationship and dialogue that should keep the deputies and senators with their constituents to facilitate decisions making and the prioritization of its legislative work, communicating their progress in an agile way through the mobile devices of the civil society. For the analysis were appealed to focal groups and the description of the app PlenoCiudadano. The results regarding the perception of the panelists pointed out two fundamental aspects: the digital divide prevented the full exercise of digital citizenship and civic participation, and the use of the technology is not enough for the construction of a digital citizenship while the lack of credibility continues in the actions of the Government.
