In Uruguay, the only way for all students to access study and reading books is through digital formats. Therefore, the Digital Library was created, allowing access to teachers and students to all the specific contents of textbooks needed to study, as well as entertaining books. In 2015, it was included the opportunity for retirees to access this library. Finally, Plan Ceibal managed to create access to the Digital Library for any Uruguayan resident, and in December 2018, it was launched with the first 4,000 resources available. In this first year, the Library is constantly growing in the number of books and subscribers.
Another example of the impact of technology on methods of teaching and learning is the Ceibal program in English. This arises to respond to the lack of English teachers in Uruguay, to teach the language in all primary education, especially in cities further away from the capital. Jp.ik together with Plan Ceibal developed a network of videoconferences to provide classes in all public centers so that students can learn remotely with teachers from different parts of the world. Thus, the company managed to go from 30,000 children who received English classes to more than 110,000 throughout the country.
Another important role of technologies is to become accelerators of new pedagogies. Therefore, the Ceibal Center focuses on the approach of new pedagogies for Deep Learning through student-centered methodologies. Together with the National Public Education Administration (ANEP), Ceibal joined a set of countries that make up the Global Learning Network; where work is promoted by projects linked to the environment, the center of learning is in the students and teachers and directors are the key actors of this transformation.
In most cases, these projects are linked to technology.

Plan Ceibal’s motto is “learning by doing”. Each student is placed at the center of the learning process, which is supported by technology.
They promote collaborative workspaces where they foster a culture of doing and project-based learning. This approach develops key skills for the world we live in.
The use of virtual platforms and digital resources allows learning to take place outside the classroom, extending teaching time and transforming other spaces outside the school into learning spaces. With this technological deployment it is possible to test innovative models such as teaching through videoconferencing.

This ubiquitous learning also allows for greater family involvement; families are catalysts for learning and are also a key pillar of the blended education and global distance learning models that have broadened their scope in recent years.
Beyond the use of technology, Plan Ceibal aims to understand and create technology, learn new languages, and create innovative solutions. To this end, they have developed projects such as STEM that stimulate curiosity, creativity, and computational thinking to be used in any subject.
Among the countries of the NETWORK, the technological changes that have occurred in recent years have defined a completely different world, which requires students to handle certain basic skills, centered on the so-called 6 Cs:

It is essential to promote the professional development of teachers to enable the implementation of models and tools, and the use of technologies to enrich pedagogical proposals. The aim is to support teaching staff in their transition to “versatile professionals who believe in their ability to transform themselves, becoming ‘knowledge teachers’, inducers of knowledge’, rather than knowledge teachers”.
This proposal is also based on a set of standards (ISTE-CEIBAL) that promotes the development of teachers as learning subjects, their leadership skills, exercise their digital citizenship, collaborate, facilitate, analyze, and design their pedagogical practices.
