Abstract

Today we are faced with a different way of teaching and learning. On the one hand, virtual teaching proved to be the solution to continue learning, with new ways of sharing content, greater interaction, and almost immediate responses. Students realized that they are able to be more independent than they thought in acquiring knowledge and have greater freedom to learn. Teachers took on a new role as mediators and facilitators of content. Everyone had to learn to innovate. And the biggest effort was, without a doubt, getting everyone to follow along. In the face of this unexpected crisis, technology was the salvation and changed the classroom forever. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 accelerated the digital transformation in the education sector, and there are changes that are here to stay. Technology will be more present in the classroom; it will coexist. However, everything would have been more effective if teachers and students had had the time and resources to prepare themselves.
