3. Interactive and participatory learning: through interactive tools, educational games, simulations and online collaboration platforms, interaction, teamwork and creativity are encouraged, creating a stimulating and motivating learning environment.

The use of new technologies in education is part of the natural process of evolution of teaching methods. And if, some time ago, it was like buying computers for school, today it goes much further than that.

Technological innovations help a lot in the teaching process. Just remember the projectors and even video tapes that, in previous years, were the tools available for use in classrooms.

Mobile phones in the classroom: although they have been banned, today mobile phones are welcome in classrooms. They can be used in interactive activities and improve the quality of teaching. Students can continue studying from anywhere, using computers, tablets and other Internet-connected devices.

Hybrid teaching: although the course is in person, part of the classes can be taught remotely, without loss of quality.

Virtual learning environment: digital environment that allows communication between students and teachers, in addition to sharing complementary materials.

Microlearning: small teaching doses, for subjects that require quick and effective training. These can be short video lessons, for example.

Personalization of teaching: process of adapting the routes themselves according to the demands of each student, improving the experience.
