Gwydeon has been designed to be the middle point, to be the tool that allows teacher to improve and use digital content. It is essential that teachers are educated and adapt themselves to the use of new technologies and methodologies, using a versatile device that adapts to them, and not the opposite. Students become proactive because they work individually to achieve their goals, their critical thinking and self-determination are fostered, and they can do so anywhere. Because education is not only technology, but also knowing how to apply it. Students are more interested in dynamic and audiovisual lessons, and retain the information better. The objective of Gwydeon is to build the new school, where the interaction with both the real world and with knowledge is the reference.
