Abstract

The undeniable changes caused by the success of the smartphone, as the result of the technological progress and a hyper-connected society, inevitably generate new challenges for the educational system, the schools, the teachers and the students. In this sense, this research addresses its adoption and use inside and outside the classroom, analysing its contribution to a more innovative school, attentive to the real world. Thus, teachers’ perceptions of the benefits and challenges of using them will be presented. Data were collected through a focus group followed by content analysis. The results indicate that the use of the smartphone is a motivating factor for students, contributes to the consolidation and improvement of learning, and requires commitment, persistence, well-defined rules and a period of training and habituation for students. Teachers need time to search, discover and experience the myriad of apps that emerge daily and that are available for effective use inside and outside the classroom.
