PROYECTOS SOLIDARIOS CON USO DE TECNOLOGÍA EN COMUNIDADES RURALES.

SOLIDARITY PROJECT USING TECHNOLOGY IN RURAL COMMUNITIES is the result of a pilot initiative for a continuous learning process and educational methodology innovation focused on recreating educational work, interconnecting the general Elementary School curriculum (specifically in the areas of language and communication, mathematics and science) with multiple creative and communicative possibilities provided by information and communication technologies (ICT). With a clear pedagogical intention, ICT are linked to the development of elementary prosocial attitudes, which are part of an active citizenship whose methods favour the school-community relationship by means of a "service-learning" project. At the same time, a type of intervention research was carried out in order to find out how ICT use in the classroom, from a service-learning methodological perspective, may contribute to acquire and develop new cognitive competencies (curriculum), procedures (use of technological tools) and attitudes that strengthen elementary school students and staffs identity in these rural communities.
