Abstract: The following document presents the results of a study on high school students and how they incorporate the new information technologies into their daily life. The subject is approached from the line of research of Technological Innovation led by the members of the research group: Educational Innovation in Teaching and Learning Processes. This study shows evidence of how the use of devices such as video games, cell phones and internet has influenced students’ behavior patterns both at school and at home. The empirical study was based on an intentional or convenience of 220 from a total of 350 students. The Results indicate the need to incorporate curriculum planning to the subjectivation processes that students develop from these practices.
