Abstract
Nowadays, we live in a society in which unprecedented technological progress that demands a rapid adaptation is taking place. The educational sector needs to adapt to the changing world in which we live. Many authors pointed out that the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has direct consequences in the field of education, starting from early childhood education, to learn how to cope with what some authors have called the “virtual world.” The aim of this work is to analyse, through a research project in a public Spanish early childhood education school, how the use of tablets influences different levels of educational reality (teachers, students, families, and management team). The main objective is to obtain a clear idea of the methodological change that is taking place in many early childhood education schools in Spain, moving from the traditional model to a model based on ICT, and whether this process is beneficial for pupils. A field study was conducted based on questionnaires to the different agents that make up the education system.

The Use of Social Media by Local Governments: Benefits, Challenges, and Recent Experiences
The digital revolution has often been referred to as the third industrial revolution and implies the change from analog mechanical and electronic technology to digital technology, occurring since the 1980s throughout the present day. The digital revolution is both a manifestation and result of the emergence of information communication technologies, and thus, inaugurates the Information Age. This revolution entails mass production and widespread use of digital logic circuits and its derived technologies—that is, the computer, digital cellular phone, and fax machines. The important technological, social, economic, and political consequences brought about explain its revolution-like nature. The information society represents the natural environment of this phenomenon (Diaz Romero, 2014 AU77: The in-text citation "Diaz Romero, 2014" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ).
