Abstract

The constant transformations observed in society and in the contemporaneous culture do not leave any doubt that the educational sector will have to change radically in the coming years. In this sense, digital technologies confi gure an important ally for the innovation of the educational space since they provide the development of the new learning experiences and widen the possibilities for change. Considering this context, the current article searched for analyzing and synthesizing the role of the digital technologies in the learning experience shared by students and teachers in the classroom. Therefore, a qualitative and empirical investigation of the case study type was carried out with the objective of developing a diagnosis about the context of a specifi c environment of classroom as well as about the use of technological resources in this space. As a result, it is possible to point out the need of developing new learning experiences shared by students and teachers in the classroom because the current methods establish a confl ict between the way how diff erent generations think, perform and search for knowledge.

Key words: classroom of design, digital technologies, inovation, learning experience.
