Talking about information and communication technologies (ICT) in education is not new, much less when it comes to discussions for integrating digital resources. Researchers such as Costa & Prado (2015), Santos & Vasconcelos (2018), Abar (2020) and Santos & Silva (2020), evidence this fact. Faced with this scenario, the following problematic question arises, which digital technologies are being increased more frequently in the teaching of mathematics? Bearing this question in mind, the present study focuses on investigating the frequency with which digital technologies are on school premises in the municipal network of Coruripe-AL, considering that this locus of investigation is a reference in the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) in the state of Alagoas and Brazil. The research is of the qualitative type using cartographic inspirations; the field diary, semi-structured interview, documents and observations were used for data collection. In this work, it exposes the findings of one of the participants named P6. The findings demonstrate that digital technologies are gradually entering school premises, with emphasis on the use of smartphones and the interactive computer with a digital whiteboard.

The introduction and use of information and communication technologies have been a recurrent topic of debate, as these technologies have become attached to the lives of more than half of the world's population. However, the use of technology in the education sector does not occur automatically, one of the references to guide the processes of its introduction have been the policies dictated by the governments, where actions, strategies, objectives, and goals are reflected, this allows us to identify a way forward by defining a more tangible and in some cases, prospective route. Based on the above, the objective of this work was to determine which have been the main guidelines that have marked the course of ICT in education in Mexico, and their reflection in specific actions. For this purpose, a qualitative research process was carried out with a systematic review on the internet and a documentary analysis, with the review of national education programs, and various documents on the main ICT programs of the last 30 years. Recurring axes were identified in each period, as well as lags and lack of continuity from one program to another. The importance that educational policies have had to direct the course of the use of ICT in basic education in Mexico is recognized, but also the gaps and shortcomings that have arisen in each six-year period.

Educational change, particularly change involving the adoption of educational innovations, is a complex process. In Malaysia, the significant role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in promoting digital education is reflected in the national ICT in education policy. Nevertheless, studies in the Malaysian educational context have shown that the policy implementation resulted in varying degrees of success. Through a discourse analysis approach, this paper aims to examine the evaluation studies on large scale initiatives introduced to digitize the Malaysian education system, from the Smart Schools programme to the incorporation of the Frog Virtual Learning Environment in classroom. The rationale behind these top-down initiatives and how they affected the stakeholders at the micro level, namely, teachers and students, are reviewed and analysed. The analysis informs our understanding of the factors that contribute to the successful and unsuccessful implementation of these initiatives and guide the planning of future policies.

The introduction of information and communication technologies into the educational process began more than twenty years ago, along with the rapid spreading of computers around the world. However, not all educational institutions have supported the inclusion of information and communication technologies into the educational process for the above-mentioned quite a long period of time. Most likely, this was due to insufficient financial investments in modernization. In addition, insufficient attention was initially paid to training of teachers for working with digital technologies. At present, when information and communication competence has already been included into all international standards for teachers, it turned out that neither graduates from teacher training institutes nor teachers who have been working for already a long period of time have sufficient competencies for using digital technologies in practice. A comparative analysis of Russian and European professional standards for teachers is carried out, and the competencies they should possess are considered. Various versions of the information literacy definitions are given, which have undergone changes in the technological development process. Special attention is paid to the requirements for competencies of foreign language teachers in the field of digital technologies. The list of the currently available digital tools, including mobile devices, is discussed. The students actively use such technologies to learn languages, but to yield a really positive effect, digital tools should be integrated directly into the educational process in a professional manner. The experience of work with digital technologies gained by the teachers of the NRU MPEI Department of Foreign Languages is considered. A conclusion has been drawn, according to which a high level of information literacy enables teachers not only to change their own pedagogical methods, but also to open new horizons for their students, who, in turn, gain access to high quality education.

The paper analyzes up-to-date distance learning technologies used in European education system for ensuring overall organization of the educational process during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine conditions have become a catalyst for development and practical testing of virtual learning tools and innovative pedagogical technologies, and application of the experience with them is a necessity of today and a strategy for the future. The article is focused on distance learning technologies in higher education. Institutions of England, Germany and France are chosen for the study due to their banner quality of educational service, like the University of Oxford, for example. The basis for successful conduct of all types of classes is employment of universities’ own specialized learning platforms. The learning model remains more similar to the traditional one. The main role continues to belong to communication between qualified teachers and students through various interactive web applications, while digital technologies create space for such interaction, filling it with learning materials. Students get access to all educational services using a single password to the university network. At the same time, some learning materials are available with open access, video lectures and podcasts are popular. Unlike other countries, education in Germany is governed by strict principles of information and data protection. In the contrary, in France many courses have been made available on network, and the education system has instantly adapted to work in virtual mode through the developed system of national distance learning platforms and the massive open online courses. The result of effective distance learning organization in Europe during the pandemic is that the introduction of digital technologies and transition to more flexible learning models become the education strategy at the state level, while pedagogy becomes an area of advanced development of information and communication technologies. Key words: distance education, online learning, information and communication technologies, educational platforms, quarantine, COVID-19.
