This paper aims at the impact of technological improvements and innovations on
education through the use of applications of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs). Thanks to the possibility of implementing digital tools in the
classroom, as a result, new methodologies have emerged. This trend is known as
Educational Innovation (EI). Consequently, this research shows a Didactic Unit (DU) in
which the use of new technologies is necessary in order to perform the project.
Therefore, the present paper is based on the creation of a DU, integrating new
technologies, resources, and digital tools as Pixton in English language classes. The
main purpose of this digital implementation is to confirm whether the use of these
digital devices make students work with higher motivation and satisfaction. However,
the main goal is not only to introduce new technologies in the classroom, but also that
these technologies could serve as a key tool to learn and acquire the particular curricular
objectives of the specific course. Hence, pupils could improve their English language
skills, as well as their literacy skills. This study also focuses on learners’ Digital
Competence (DC), since students in compulsory education have to achieve 7 key
competences: Linguistic Competence, Mathematical Competence and basic
Competence in Science and Technology, Learning to Learn Competence, Social and
Civic Competence, Sense of Initiative and Entrepreneurship, Cultural Awareness and
Expression, and including DC. For this reason, in this DU, the role of the teacher is
absolutely relevant as it is who guides students throughout the performance of the
project. Thus, having these facts considered, it could be stated that the implementation
of this DU could not be possible without technology. [-]
