Abstract

Abstract: It is essential that teachers develop skills that enable them to integrate technology into the classroom from a pedagogical perspective, considering the digitization process that education is currently undergoing. The research objective is to strengthen teachers' digital skills for the pedagogical use of the Canva and Genially tools in face-to-face educational environments at the Mariano Benítez Educational Unit, located in the city of Pelileo. This study was developed using a mixed approach, with a descriptive method and a non-experimental design. To assess the level of teachers' digital skills and analyze teaching practices, a questionnaire based on the DigCompEdu model was administered to a sample of 38 teachers. The findings showed notable advances in the didactic integration of Canva and Genially, as well as in the innovation of teaching strategies applied in the classroom. Therefore, it is evident and necessary for teachers to participate in a culture of continuous study in order to ensure that teaching and learning are more effective in the classroom.
