the classroom with your students are
• Use it for the development of digital competence:
Students learn to seek, obtain, process and communicate information to
transform it into knowledge.
• Interactive participation of students. You can
use it for students to comment on what is published and get information about
who writes it so you can generate discussions inside and outside the blog also
you get information about who writes.
• Facilitates self-knowledge through the feedback
provided by comments and criticisms of publications.
• The possibility of using multimedia enriches and
motivates the learning process.
• Enables new forms of communication between people
inside and outside the educational community.
• It fosters new and diverse links and social
networks between people from all over the world who come together for common
interests. Creates or strengthens the bonds of union between students and
between teachers and students.

people near or far.

classroom are broken.
The innovative appliances can be used for mobile
devices with Android and iOS operating systems, as well as a Google account
