We heard a lot about ICTs in the educative context. This concept has begun to become the core of teaching and learning since internet was turned into a human right. We are propending to get internet and information throughout the world. This is a very interesting revolution, as time and space have been redefined as well as "culture". We talk about glocal: whatever is local is also global. Our entire lives have turned into digital worlds. This means a significative change in the way we perceive life and most importantly, information.

We have faced not only economical, social and political problems inside our country but also the problems from our neighbor countries which can propend for the creation of some social problems as migration is. This topic is a matter that concerns our present more than our future. Actually there are many citizens from Venezuela making big efforts at out traffic lights, or wandering thought out our country trying to get somewhere to sleep or something to eat.
