Abstract

In this article we analyze two issues of great educational importance that are closely linked to the technological advances of recent decades and that have marked the beginning of a revolution without precedent in contemporary history. On the one hand, we study the possibilities of technological devices as tools that can improve the teaching and learning in classrooms with ethnic-cultural heterogeneity. Furthermore, we examine the potential profitability of ICT devices in the process of teacher training through the use of the advantages of the digital media space and by means of creating new environments for social interaction. Among the conclusions achieved we can highlight the need to overcome the excessively instrumental conception which usually involves the use of these media by setting up new spaces of collaboration and exchange of information and experiences that, in addition facilitate the professional development of teachers, promote the development of intercultural competences and cooperative work structures on the network.
