Today the use of technology reaches, practically, everywhere, for example, supermarkets, libraries, hospitals, clinics, schools, banks, restaurants, among others. If it is true that the way of teaching in the classroom has been changing from a traditional teaching system to a more innovative and technological teaching system, the adoption of technology in schools it is not an easy or quick change to do. Factors such as economic issues, and the little preparation and knowledge of some educators when integrating digital tools in their lesson plans have made complicated for some educational institutions to bring technology inside their classrooms.
However, traditional teaching systems (schools and teachers) need to use technology to help students to master digital skills (21st century skills). Current and future teachers are key to commit and engage students with the academic material. Therefore, they should take advantage of the wide variety of digital learning resources such as videos, discussion forums, e-books, video-games, social networks, among others, to reach all type of students in class, for example, visual learners, auditory learners, kinesthetic learners and global learners.Integrating those type of digital learning tools before mentioned in the lesson plans will make activities, assignments and homework more creative, interactive, real and practical for students.

Educators as facilitators need to prepare students for future classes, jobs and careers through an education where students have more control and responsibility for their own learning. For that reason, some important technological practices in education should be to promote student learning making use of appropriate digital programs that support students' understanding about the content of any subject, create activities that allow the students practice digital skills while learning, and give to each student the opportunity to express and share their new learning in class. There are too many options of web tools for different devices like computers, i Pads, cellphones which make them more accessible for everyone.
Nowadays, technology in education is essential to help students to develop and acquire skills which prepare them to success inside and outside of the classroom. Therefore, technology should be considered as a necessity and not as an option!
