SALINAS IBANEZ, Jesús. Education in Times of Pandemic: digital technologies for the improvement of educational processes. Innovaciones Educativas [online]. 2020, vol.22, suppl.1, pp.17-21. ISSN 2215-4132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/ie.v22iespecial.3173.

As a result of having to bring learning processes to a virtual environment, digital technologies in the COVID-19 pandemic context have become a relevant element for they are, in many cases, the sole nexus between students and their schools. Despite the enormous amount of effort by many of the teachers, particular chronic deficiencies of the educational system have been revealed. Among them: poor digital skills, and above all, an increasing inequality in access to these technologies. All that implies the need for a change in the educational system regarding digital technologies, which leads to the following questions: What kind of response have we been able to provide preceding these events? Are we still applying patches or are we making the best of this situation towards a true transformation of the educational system? The discussion here is about using this opportunity for making a radical redesign of teaching practices and for the reinvention of the teaching career with the incorporation of digital competence development.

Keywords : digital competence; educational system; digital environment; teaching career; COVID-19.
