Teachers have the possibility of generating educational content in line with the interests or particularities of each student, being able to adapt to small groups or even to an individual student. In addition, the teacher has to acquire a new role and new knowledge, from properly knowing the network and its possibilities to how to use it in the classroom and teach their students its benefits and disadvantages.
Teachers state that the use of ICT has very positive benefits for the school community, their high involvement with ICT has improved their personal satisfaction, their work performance and their relationship with students, due to the wide range of possibilities that offer.
