Undoubtedly one of the few positive things of the covid-19 has been to have to develop a hybrid education system that combines distance education with face-to-face, this type of education is a challenge for the education system worldwide, as it puts at the forefront the main actors such as students and teachers to have to overcome the challenges that involves a strong technological adoption to leverage the hybrid system within education.

With these new variables that have made humanity as a society react to the demand for new major changes in the education sector, it is evidenced the constant and massive technological incorporation with the intention of supporting educational environments that have only been able to survive the adversities of the pandemic thanks to the technological adaptation that have even allowed the incorporation of new forms of learning oriented in the didactic.

Within the challenging framework, the new educational modality has as its main entity that of having to incorporate new and innovative technologies, since the demand that the teaching-learning process demands within the framework of a hybrid education (distance and face-to-face) requires the incorporation of new learning systems, always bearing in mind the importance of new technological resources.

Even having education quite recovered as far as the normality of class attendance is concerned, we still have a system where we can see students attending classrooms, while another relevant group of students are at home willing to receive distance learning through technological resources, all this makes me think that even once the pandemic is over we can take the advantages and benefits of what we have learned regarding the adoption of technological resources to be applied to an education with shortages in the lack of transportation to move students, or even any unavailability for students to attend classes.

From already existing technological tools we continue to see a massive adoption in the use of interactive screens, laptops, for example, however the evolution towards technological innovation should be more oriented to the demand for distance learning, towards that point is that technological adoption should be further improved.

Conclusion

I believe that good lessons are always learned from crises, from this pandemic we have learned from the educational point of view that it is necessary to innovate on a deepening of distance classes, since not only because of a pandemic we must be prepared for a hybrid education (distance and face-to-face) but other different adversities may come in the future that will allow us to be prepared in the construction of a hybrid educational system based on the lessons learned during this time of pandemic.
