This text is developed because it looks to understand how new pedagogies based on the use of mobile devices can be incorporated in the classroom by teachers and professors as well. The objective of this research is to show that the use of smartphones, tablets and laptops during class sessions is something necessary and that it should be incorporated as a practice in classrooms. The methodological approach is qualitative; There are 63 people as study subjects, who are divided into fourteen focus groups. There are three essential results: 1) it is inevitable to incorporate mobile devices as work tools in classes; 2) devices are allies of learning if they are used properly; 3) technology must be integrated into current educational contexts. The main discussion focuses on understanding that mobile devices are an essential component and those are part of the students. As a conclusion, the prohibition of mobile devices isn´t a viable option, on the contrary, the teacher must have the ability to include them within the sessions and make them a tool that promotes the learning process. teaching and learning, that is, education needs to be updated and accompany this renewal from a point of view that integrates technology with innovative education.
