Emerging technologies and their application in higher education

The usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as pedagogical tools have been widely studied, where the need for didactic planning arises so that they become resources for improving educational quality. Emerging technologies are new creations, scientific innovations that can create a new industry or transform an existing one with new technologies, or also allow the use of existing ones mixed with new ones, or improve them based on new requirements. These technologies have some tools such as those listed below: Cloud Computing, Collective Intelligence, Nashua Data, Collaborative Web. The aim is to identify the knowledge that the teachers of the UAEM Valle de México University Center have, regarding emerging ICT, describe the uses that they give to some of these tools and determine their level of updating. We used a mixed methodology, to know, how are they integrated in teaching? What cognitive skills have been promoted with them?
