Technologies are digital devices that can be connected to a computer or the internet, today they are the most powerful and versatile tools that society has known so far. However, in the field of education they have not been adequately exploited, despite the potential in their teaching activity, which could explain the limited success of the methods and means used in the educational institution to train the citizens of the 21st century. This article will assess the role that these digital tools can play, both in the effectiveness of teaching activity in times of crisis, allowing new ways and means of learning, promoting personal initiative or social interaction, specifically in Latin America. For them, a study of different publications in the last 20 years was carried out that yielded useful elements, for which the educational systems implement them and thus can contribute to prepare citizens for a future that, in these times of crisis and change, will demand new knowledge and where initiative, teamwork and social skills will continue to be favorable.
