CONCLUSIONS

The key word is: CONSISTENCY

Do not implement technology just one or twice in your classrooms.

Make Technology an important and decisive part of your class

Know your students, and create your lessons according to your students’ preferences, expectations, likes, among others.

The attitude of the teacher is crucial
