Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) like the Internet, networked mobile devices, and personal computers have transformed and are changing both formal and informal education. Although the adoption of technology in education is a global trend, specific regions confront different challenges and opportunities according to their cultural, geographical, and political contexts. With the objective of helping to understand how technology is transforming education in Latin America, and contribute to the development of programs, best practices, and policies, we have created the TELA (Technology and Education in Latin America) initiative.
