ABSTRACT: After the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, many professors created a variety of materials to teach their classes, including Zoom presentations, classroom lectures, PowerPoint presentations, and video collections. These materials were valuable, and the academics did not intend to send them to a repository of materials. With the return to face-to-face activities, more professors are using their own equipment. The objective of this text is to describe the current situation up to the beginning of 2023 at UAM-Azcapotzalco in terms of equipment distribution and some other issues. First, we reflect on modernity, as well as the use of the computer. Secondly, this text outlines three distinct pedagogical stages at the UAM-A: at the beginning of the pandemic, at the return to the classroom and towards a mixed proposal; these pedagogical proposals have already been applied and the last one that is in the pilot phase. This paper discusses the use of technology in the classroom, the current state of affairs, and the institutional efforts to provide infrastructure for teachers and students across different Divisions. The teachers are divided into three general types after the pandemic and finally we describe some issues that can hardly be resolved arising from the use of technology.
