Abstract

This study presents an experience of educational innovation conducted with students with low achievements in their third school year of Secondary Education, in the subject of Technology. Focusing the center of the study in the teaching unit linked to the graphic expression, in order to improve their degree of space ability. In the development of this experience, we selected as a study sample, the group of third course, which presents on global level greater issues to assimilate this type of knowledge.
It describes in a detailed way, how has been innovated working contents linked to graphic expression: object perspectives; through augmented reality tools. For that, an innovative teaching-learning strategy has been used, focused on the use of ICT tools, including the use of smartphones by students.
