There have never been so many disruptive innovations in such a short period of time as now in the digital society. We move in a fluid, flexible and voluble world, which Bauman contrasts with the solid, stable, repetitive and full of certainties world to which we are accustomed. On this account, it is necessary to invest in human capital in order for workers to acquire the new skills that the labor market will demand. Disruptions, both the ones already here and the ones still to come, affect us all, our way of life and also our way of working. It is for these complex, ambiguous, uncertain and vulnerable situations and circumstances that it is necessary to change the ways of educating and integrating new technological tools in educational processes, in order to undertake significant methodological and organizational changes in our educational system. Furthermore, our children, teenagers, and young people are radically different from adults. There are related concepts such as digital native, digital resident and generations X, Y and Z referred to those students who populate the system. Thus, it would be incomprehensible that in a digital society with students of these generations, we do not produce digital educational models and digital learning. If current education is not integrated in the digital reality that surrounds us, other actors will take their place.
