 INTRODUCTION

The easy and quick access to technology has set an accelerated pace in its application in
different areas. Many experts agree that the most important functions
important aspects of technology include: a) supporting the development of society, b)
contribute to being efficient, c) promote change and progress and d) provoke advancements in the
medium term. Currently, all areas of life are affected by the
technology and education are no different.

At the same time, the incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies, in the
educational processes not only aim at digital literacy, both for the teacher and for
student, but to a broader and more comprehensive vision that considers the educational community
as the main beneficiary of the application of technology in Educational Centers.
This is due to the fact that, in addition to the known benefits, the application of technology
seeks to improve the competitiveness of the community and its productive capacity.

Específicamente en el proceso de aprendizaje hay varios objetivos para incorporar

technology in Educational Centers. The main ones should focus on improving quality
of the learning level, adding technology to all that range of tools and
recursos con los que el docente cuenta para alcanzar los aprendizajes esperados.
PROJECT:

COMPUTER LAB EQUIPMENT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION (JUSTIFICATION)

In light of the needs of the Educational Center 'Fray Juan de Jesús Zepeda' in the area
technological, we have been motivated to adapt a classroom with the necessary equipment of
computing to meet the needs required by educational guidelines.

Since the Educational Center only has the physical structure and has the need to
equipment such as computers and tables for that laboratory we consider the project of
a lot of importance, because in this globalized and competitive world they would be left behind
back with an archaic education by lacking an evolutionary process in education more
that everything in the area of technology.

The education of today's student cannot remain indifferent to the needs and
to the problems the world faces. Today a formative process is needed that provides
tools and values to students who face a complicated and daily
permanent challenge of knowledge. As educators, we must work to change that
reality, looking for strategies and new resources that generate new expectations and
better educational opportunities.

The project will consist of providing 25 computer devices with furniture.

corresponding, this laboratory aims to achieve higher rates of
profitability regarding research and in-depth exploration of topics
teachers and students, in this way teachers and students will be able to access a
space where they can acquire basic knowledge about technology.

PROGRAMMING

This project will promote collaborative work within a context in which there is
opportunity for students to express and exchange experiences according to their level of
conceptualization, supporting within this dynamic the development of the contents of
primary plans and programs through the collaborative projects that are proposed,
the same that suggest pedagogical models that stimulate student work and
teachers of creative activities through the interactive use of technological tools.

In the project 'Computer Room Equipment', the administration and the teachers
they will have the possibility to interact during all their class hours through the
different technological programs that will be available in the classroom, in which they must
innovate traditional educational methods, using new teaching methods

and traditional.
The emphasis of training teachers and students with technology is to transform the
classroom practices, therefore in this project we propose to work on three axes
fundamentals to carry out the process of training and transformation with the use of
the proposed technological tools, taking advantage of them through Explore, Appropriate and
Produce. These axes are understood in the following way:

Explore: computers, as educational tools, have a multiplicity of

possibilities of accessing quick information, developing exercises through tutorials and
simulators, edit texts collaboratively, among others, for this reason, exploring is a

The Educational Center must implement and enforce the following regulations
(they can also be modified) to take the necessary security measures and achieve a
better functioning of it:

INTERNAL REGULATIONS OF THE COMPUTER LAB:

At the moment of entering the classroom, the student must remain completely silent.
No playing in the classroom.
Do not introduce food or drinks.
If there are questions regarding the operation of the equipment, ask the responsible personnel.
of the classroom (operation only)

If the student detects any malfunction while operating the equipment, they must notify the staff.
Room for you to take the necessary actions. Under no circumstances will the student try.
repair it.
Do not bring chewing gum into the room.
The student who does not comply with these provisions must be sanctioned.

INCIDENT PREVENTION

The computer lab, by convention, must have procedures in place to prevent and
minimize the damage caused by adverse events to the integrity of the records
and archived materials. The types of incidents included in the plan must be
determined by an assessment of the potential risks to which the file may be subject
exposed, and the possibility of fire, electrical failure, related damages must be considered
with extreme weather conditions, flooding, theft, and sabotage.
The procedures must include:

Preventive measures,
Recovery and/or restoration of lost or damaged records and materials
Restoration of security.
Useful and emergency contacts,
Location of the necessary equipment,
Records of the activities carried out for their resolution and/or restoration.

EXECUTION:

The project provides all services for classroom adaptation, equipment, furniture,
services and support. The classroom has been designed with an emphasis on safety, both of the
users like the classroom itself and its content. The electrical network of the classroom is totally

independent from the rest of the school. Internally, the electrical network of the classroom is divided into

three distribution panels, one for air conditioners, another for lighting and use
general y, another for electronic equipment.

The classroom will be equipped with the best technological resources of today, in order to
to provide the best services permanently to the students, for this reason they

The room is prepared to house the computer area by carrying out the following
adjustments:

Computer installation.
Repair or installation of electrical network.
Air conditioning installation.
Installation of wiring.
Hiring an electrician.

EVALUATION:

The realization of the project was made possible thanks to the collaboration of numerous people,
among which stand out children, teachers, parents, the city hall, FISH,
project executors. Their contribution, commitment, and willingness for the 'Equipment of

RECOMMENDATIONS

For the sustainability of a technology introduction policy in the educational system

to allow educational innovations to continue, it is recommended:

Develop a plan that allows for strengthening systematic maintenance and includes the
replacement of equipment at the Educational Center.

Conduct evaluations impact of the rest of the interventions, especially the
