Aplicaciones gratuitas para digitalizar las aulas de preescolares en pandemia

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to detail the process of transition from the classroom to virtuality in the Initial I and II levels of the Centro de Educación Inicial San Carlos, using Google applications for education, such as Sites, Drive, Gmail, YouTube, among others. These free digital tools served as support to build a friendly learning environment for both parents and children, considering that both, in situation of the pandemic, needed all the support to make more bearable the transformation of education to virtual environments. The research was descriptive, with a qualitative approach, and was based on the Replacement, Extension and Transformation (RAT) model. As a result, it was found that, by designing a simple, fun and effective space mediated by ICTs, parents were able to review the virtual environment and help their children to complete their activities; in addition, evidence was uploaded on time without major difficulties and the learning objectives proposed at the beginning of the contingency were achieved.
