Abstract

It is known that currently, the students learn in different contexts and with extensive use of information and communication technologies (ICT). This study aims to identify which applications, web platforms, social networks, and digital technologies a group of secondary education students uses through a self-administered questionnaire. First, we will refer to the “learning ecologies” concept and its link with informal learning and ICT. The “Material and methods” section includes the participants’ characterization and a detailed description of the instrument used. Results are organized into four categories. In the discussion, we propose the impact of technologies on several aspects of the participants’ lives.
