Abstract (English): Day by day educational and government institutions choose to generate Virtual Learning Environments, being the use of technology a part of the chosen competence to develop; using digital platforms implies resource handling to facilitate educational projects managament, cloud documents, colaborative tools, publish and spread digital products. The advantage of using digital tools is that allows the quality assesment of the retrieved information. Then the appropiation of technological tools is considered an emerging social need. Kids, youngs and adults require abilities to use them, according to their grade of complexity it will be necessary to practice or going to an institution to get training. While the adult already use the technology to browse the internet, chat, multimedia use, make online procedures, watch news, consult books, among other activities; it is necessary to offer spaces for office software, social networks and applied multimedia training; in Mexico there are options like the Technological Literacy Training for Adults that takes place on the Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora (Sonoran Institute of Technology). Once the need of training is covered it is essential that the adult continues practicing and getting training with the objective of generating an update culture. An adequate and continual process for technological literacy will avoid adults being excluded of knowledge and information society. Also, it is important to consider training on using mobile devices with Mobile Learning wich allows the user to gradually be fluent on this technology, from locate online documents, sharing them, group collaboration to even learning from every place on any moment.

Abstract (Spanish): Día a día las instituciones gubernamentales y educativas optan por generar Ambientes Virtuales de Aprendizaje, siendo pues el utilizar la tecnología parte de las competencias a desarrollar; usar plataformas digitales implica manejar recursos para facilitar la gestion de proyectos educativos, documentos en la nube, herramientas para colaborar, publicar y difundir productos digitales. La ventaja de utilizar herramientas digitales es que permite evaluar la calidad de la información recuperada. Entonces se considera a la apropiación de las herramientas tecnológicas como una necesidad social emergente. Niños, jóvenes y adultos requieren habilidades para utilizarlas, de acuerdo a su grado de complejidad será necesario practicar o acudir a una institución a capacitarse. Si bien el adulto ya utiliza las tecnologías para navegar en internet, platicar, uso de multimedia, hacer trámites en línea, ver noticias, consultar libros, entre otras actividades; es necesario ofrecer espacios para la capacitación en uso de ofimática, redes sociales y aplicación de multimedia; en México existen opciones como el taller de alfabetización tecnológica para adultos, que se desarrolla en Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora. Una vez cubierta le necesidad de capacitación es indispensable que el adulto continúe practicando y capacitandose, a fin de generar una cultura de la actualización. Un proceso de alfabetización digital adecuado y continuo, evitará que los adultos sean excluidos de la sociedad de la información y del conocimiento. También es importante considerar la formación en el uso de los dispositivos móviles con metodologías como Mobile Learning que permite que la persona gradualmente vaya dominando esta tecnología, desde ubicar documentos en línea, compartirlos, colaborar en grupo hasta aprender en cualquier lugar y cualquier momento.
