TICs in rural schools: support or problem for teachers?

Abstract

New Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) currently provide multiple benefits to society. Life has become easier and more comfortable. It is not indispensable to move from one side to another to share personal experiences, our presence is not essential, it is enough to have the Internet and a device to establish a contact, although it is not physical, but at last it allows us to communicate. In the different web pages, in magazines, newspapers, we can see that there are many benefits in implementing these technologies, but are they really good? We need to live this experience daily to know if they are really an advantage or not. In the streets you see people (myself included), with their devices in front of them as they walk, without paying attention to what is happening around them. Fingers are running a mile a minute, messages are coming and going, video conferencing is in vogue, videos, movies are now available to us anytime, anywhere.
