Abstract: This essay aims to generate a reflection on the integration of technology in Costa Rican education, emphasizing the crucial role of educational management in this process. It reviews the historical development of educational technology from the early programs in the 1980s to the most recent initiatives such as the National Technology Training Program of 2024.
