The analysis of the information from the interview was carried out through categorization and the data from the questionnaires were processed using descriptive statistics. Among the outstanding results is the emergence of the categories Didactic resignification of ICT, Teaching based on practice and Emphasis on teacher training. In addition, educommunication in this center has a tendency towards assertive communication, little use of ICT and active methodologies.
