Abstract

In today’s world, in which technology occupies an important place, the main challenge for teaching lies in the incorporation of web 2.0 tools as a means of support for education. Therefore, changes in educational models in recent years have motivated teachers to adopt the use of web 2.0 tools in their daily work to produce significant changes in student learning. This paper, in
which it was sought to determine whether the factors of age, academic level and knowledge are decisive in the use of web 2.0 tools, was built from a methodological approach of a quantitative nature at a non-experimental level, which has the web 2.0 tools as a variable and the survey as a data collection instrument. As a result, it was found that not many teachers use these tools and that, when they do, they prefer to use social networks, blogs, microblogs and, to a lesser extent, wikis, because they allow the development of more pedagogical strategies and provide them with a space for interaction, connection, reflection and collaboration.
