advisory body to the United Nations Organization (UN) in educational matters, has been
promoting Information and Communications Technology since the beginning ( Tic), the
importance of their participation in educational contexts, as elements of support for the

challenges that its use in the educational process implies. The studies carried out by various
researchers indicated that the educational systems of Latin American countries have been

three elements that have influenced achievements not are as expected, because their
conjunction is necessary. Among them we have, in the first instance, the importance of
establishing training and updating programs for teaching staff. Secondly, the provision of
equipment and connectivity of the educational centers and finally, based on these capacities

Introducción
El impacto de las nuevas tecnologías en el mundo contemporáneo, ha sido un
evento sin precedentes, que trajo consigo grandes beneficios, sobre todo para modernizar,
innovar y crear procesos en los diferentes ámbitos en los que el hombre se desenvuelve.
Desde ese momento, ha habido sectores que de manera casi inmediata fueron
incorporándola, sobre todo a nivel de los procesos industriales. En el área gerencial, resultó
de gran valor para agilizar los procesos internos de carácter administrativo y así
progresivamente, fue siendo parte de todos estos escenarios.
Mientras que en sectores como el educativo, su incorporación fue menos ágil y con
pasos dubitativos, lo que significó que, en los inicios no se utilizó con eficacia la tecnología
en las actividades educativas, sobre todo considerando que los docentes son modeladores
de los procesos de aprendizaje para sus estudiantes y sirven de modelo gracias a su
formación profesional, lo que los convierte en competentes para las actividades docentes.
