This applied dissertation was designed to provide information to school leaders and teachers regarding the importance of integrating technology in their classrooms to enhance education. Students in developing countries encounter an academic disparity due to multiple factors related to limited funding, social inequalities, and political aspects. However, integrating technology is a factor that could result in better and more educated global citizens. Furthermore, improving student learning outcomes in Latin America by integrating technology could improve competitiveness for developing countries, considering education as a major factor in decreasing academic disparity between developing countries and developed countries. The writer developed a case study regarding the experiences of those who integrate technology into their curriculum within one private elementary and one secondary school in Mexico. Furthermore, the use of interviews, observations, focus group discussions, and documents reviewed before, during, and after the process were employed to understand the way technology can enhance education.
