Methodology: study implemented in the line of educational research with a qualitative approach from the ethnographic standpoint of Araceli de Tezanos, in which the observation/description dyad becomes in the pillar of knowledge. This pillar reveals the experiences of a social totality, and in our case, the new educational-cultural training, and for this to happen it is necessary, the application of instruments as the unstructured observation, students and teachers interviews and the setting of focal groups from which main data for the present research was obtained. Findings: an obvious truth is the use of mobile devices as factors that generate an otherness in the development of the relations that emerge from the current pedagogical practica, aspect that depends on the person who is teaching and how they make use of those attractive, amusing and enjoyable assets in class. Conclusions: a crucial aspect to be considered is to come to institutional agreements, which allow free speech and creativity on students within a context where clear respect and attention to institutional regulations are given. In addition to this, it is necessary for the immigrant digital teachers, to create new pedagogical strategies, didactics whose aim is to go along with new learning styles, and expectations derived from the interaction with mobile devices and technological instruments.
