Nowadays, multiple phenomena have promoted an impact on society, constituting in some cases, not only a contribution of benefits but also of risks. Among them, the fake news phenomenon is considered one of the most burning phenomena today due to the risk it poses to society. In view of this situation, the research community has carried out numerous studies that seek to address this issue from a multidisciplinary perspective. Based on this, the objective of this work was to analyze the productivity and, therefore, the impact of this topic in the research community. To this end, this work advocated a scientometric-type methodology, through scientometric laws, impact indicators, and scientific evolution of 640 publications of the web of science (WOS). The results showed the impact of the fake news discipline today, which is considered an emerging issue that is of interest to many knowledge disciplines around the world. Likewise, the results showed that the publications not only have a focus on analyzing the veracity or not of the news, but that it begins to vertebrate a new line of an investigation directed to the informational education and towards the prevention of the consumption of this type of news through the internet.
Technology in education is one of the current realities that generates most interest. The objective of this research is to analyze the scientific production of educational technology in the higher education stage, within the Web of Science database. To carry out this study, a bibliometric study was conducted, which first established the keywords that would govern the rest of the research and continued with the analysis of different variables that addressed different features, from the origin of the archives to the authors or the most prolific and relevant institutions in the scientific community. The results indicate that there has been a significant increase in publications on this subject in recent years, and as evident from the current peak, this is a growing trend that will lead to more research in the coming years.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic situation, where people's mobility has been reduced and compromised, has highlighted the need to acquire new technical skills and develop new educational plans that allow students to continue to enjoy different places and learn without having to move. In order to respond to this scenario, many schools are turning to Virtual Reality (VR) as a technology that allows students to experience a variety of experiences and destinations around the world without having to leave the classroom. Moreover, such technology can also be a way to better educate primary and secondary school students about the changing world we live in an innovative, modern and engaging way. The ART Project aims to connect VR methodology with global citizenship and arts education, thus enabling the online teaching of global citizenship, including art and culture, in an engaging and creative way. Specifically, the main objective is to offer a special training model that can guarantee access to art and culture through VR technology. In this article we present two main objectives derived from the project, which are to provide innovative global citizenship education to explore, discover and stimulate students' interest and to enable the possibility for teachers to contribute to the development of teaching materials and the presentation of this material on the platform.

El acceso a Internet se ha convertido en una herramienta indispensable en la sociedad en la que vivimos, y por consiguiente, las escuelas no han permanecido ajenas a este fenómeno. Su uso se ha convertido en una acción indispensable en el quehacer diario de una institución educativa. Con este estudio se pretende analizar el estado actual de la conectividad del sistema educativo español, y determinar la brecha de conectividad existente entre las diferentes comunidades de España. Se ha podido observar que, desde una perspectiva general, a diferencia de las creencias del profesorado y alumnado de los distintos centros educativos, la conectividad goza de un estado de salud óptimo, con un porcentaje medio de disponibilidad de conexión en las aulas superior al 90%. Sin embargo, no todas las Comunidades Autónomas gozan de la misma calidad de conexión, habiendo diferencias significativas dependiendo de la región en la que se ponga el foco. Esto supone un hándicap en el desarrollo de una secuencia didáctica mediada por tecnología en un aula.
