Abstract

The incorporation of digital technologies in higher education becomes an unavoidable requirement. The use of electronic devices in classrooms and the teaching of digital natives set the material conditions for the employment of Information and Communication Technologies in Law. The initiative to integrate Instagram as a learning tool in the Law degree is justified both by its adaptability and by the rates of use in the age groups of the students. The @miopiajudicial profile emerges as a channel for legal broadcast and a virtual repository of issues related to the visualization of gender stereotypes in the Administration of Justice. Its implementation as a pilot project opens a window of opportunity for its incorporation into the learning-teaching system of law with the participation of students. The creation of a publication on Instagram requires the acquisition and implementation of a set of competencies and skills that not only the faculty must transmit, but that is fully useful for the further exercise of the legal professions (search of court decisions, terminological precision, concept synthesis, written argumentation, oral presentation, among others). Despite the investment of time and the complexity of translating concepts into an intelligible language, the versatility, multidisciplinarity and interaction that the social network provides are enough benefits to overcome the initial drawbacks that will be reduced by the work dynamics itself. As opposed to the irreducible individual memorization, Instagram offers the possibility of cooperative learning on practical issues in addition to the social impact through the dissemination of knowledge.
