The world is experiencing one of its most difficult moments in history. The Covid 19 pandemic rethinks the lifestyle of humanity and the planet. One of the sectors most affected has been education, which had to accept the challenge of reconfiguring the operation of its educational institutions and transforming them from face-to-face to virtual. This situation has deeply touched all members of the education system worldwide without exception, both at the primary, secondary and university levels.

 

In this context and faced with the inevitability of the challenge, different approaches to the new situation emerged that determined the proliferation of innumerable training attempts both in pedagogical and technological aspects that allowed the use of new distance learning and teaching strategies to continue with educational work.

 

All this forces the continuous revision of concepts, tools, structures and conceptions and this we will try to do in this Webinar aimed at Directors, Teachers and Students at all educational levels.
