    Tools that create or support a virtual learning environment.

    Nowadays, thanks to technological advances, we can count on a great variety of tools that
    we can have according to the pedagogical objectives. These tools are of great help to create
    virtual spaces as well as to create virtual materials or to plan lessons, etc.

    Among the most used we have:

    The ActivExpression. (basic application on the Promethean board)

    understanding and progression of their learning, while students work at
    their own pace or as a class.

    asynchronously, provides places for teachers to upload and make resources available to
    students, as a way to track student progress and a place to publish assignments. Supporting
    the sharing of resources is a way of stimulating student interest in a topic.
    It is a way to ensure that all work and discussion in the virtual classroom occurs within an
    educational space and under the teacher's umbrella. In conclusion, they are tools that
    improve the teaching-learning progress and offer variety to satisfy the pedagogical
    objectives supporting the virtual learning environment.
