TASK 1: Publish a summary of the legal framework of the use of the ICT in ESO

It is an obvious thing to say but ICT are nowadays totally implemented in every part of our reality. We use technology in our everyday life from the simplest thing to the most complex ones. Today we have computers, smartphones, smart TVs, tablets and an endless range of devices which complement our life and make it easier.

Education is therefore a field in which we must try to constantly innovate and introduce new tools to transform the task of teaching in a more effective one, in which the learners can acquire knowledge in ways more intuitive and more practical each time.

In this sense, and according to the law, we must work to introduce ICT in the classroom in a way to foster the personal development of our students and enhance their capabilities to prepare them to their professional future in a world each time more in touch with the new technologies.

To this respect and according to “el Real Decreto 1105/2014, de 26 de diciembre, por el que se establece el currículo básico de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y del Bachillerato” and alluding to what is referred in the Block 5 of each of the levels of education regarding transversal contents, we can highlight the following key competences (competencias clave):

1. La competencia lingüística

2. La competencia matemática y competencias básicas en Ciencia y Tecnología

3. Competencia digital

4. Aprender a aprender

5. Competencias sociales y cívicas

6. Sentido de iniciativa y espíritu emprendedor

From this we can draw the importance that it is being given to ICT nowadays, stated as the third key competence to achieve. Not without reason, the implementation of the technologies in the class is a step forward to achieve a whole new concept in the educative landscape in which learning can be interactive, participative and built based in the necessities of our students, helped by the tools and innovations the technology provides us with.
