Abstract

Computer technology, today, is changing our habits, that is, we are in the era of digital transformation. As indicated by José Luis Curbelo (2017), “Through connectivity and in the context of globalization, digital transformation is giving people and products a new intelligence capable of transforming the nature of things,” In his book Competing in Digital Transformation, therefore, the way of teaching must necessarily take a turn and provide better teaching tools, and one of these tools is the so-called emerging augmented reality technology. The use of this tool in education is very varied. It will always depend on the content you want to show, applying creativity and complement to the textual information of the topic you want, this being your main benefit, that is, modeling what is explained, allowing interaction and manipulation, benefiting the experience of the teacher and the student in the teaching-learning process. This new way of educating, leads us to make a “digital entrepreneurship” at the university level, because of the importance of innovation. Innovation that is currently taking place at the school level, in some schools in the city of Guayaquil, where children learn not only reading, or watching a documentary on a screen, but having different levels of interactivity.
