Abstract
The health crisis produced by covid-19 has promoted new forms of communication and information processing. In this context, new technologies have become an essential element for living in today’s society. Different social agents and institutions such as schools have been forced to make a technological leap and modify their teaching-learning habits by adapting to the use of digital platforms, resources, and tools. However, schools are not taking advantage of the full potential of new technologies. In this context, this study investigates the educational potential of apps from an artistic perspective. It analyzes the pedagogical dimension of these art apps aimed at children aged 4 to 12 years as a means that complements teaching-learning. The results show that these Apps have a pedagogical dimension that can serve as an effective educational tool for the development of media skills. Some lines of improvement in the pedagogical treatment of these applications are highlighted, as well as the need to train teachers to use them as a complement to their educational work.
