We can assert that in the 21st century we are facing a digital revolution that is also quickly coming into the schools. In addition, new ways are currently emerging to deal with the teaching‐learning process such as the tools of Web 2.0, the portfolio, virtual learning environments, etc. Taking a critical perspective we will explore why, how, where, when to use the technological resources available at school. We conclude with an analysis of teacher education and some methodological suggestions and proposals for use in the classroom.
