The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to the educational environment is complex. As is presented in Zenteno, A. & Mortera, F. J. (2011), the level of teacher appropriation of each ICT affects its integration into the classroom since the benefits of technology used with students are linked to the teachers’ appropriation process. Teachers tend to use ICT for their productivity, professional growth and as an audiovisual resource by designing multimedia presentations and by means of the Internet. In general, teachers value ICT in their teaching practice. Even though some teachers would sometimes do away with student laptops given their low self-regulation and “unnecessary distractions” fostered by technology, no teacher would renounce access to the computer, multimedia projector and Internet access available within the classroom.
