It is important to start mentioning the current use of different technologies in education. Nowadays, the new technologies are everywhere and they require an integration of them in different fields. One of those fields is education. It is essential to make changes in education and the inclusion of technology is a priority.

• There are some reasons behind the project:

1. Integration of technology2. Application of current topics3. Integration of skills

. Basically, the need for this project is to present a creative way to work the topic “CULTURES AROUND THE WORLD”

• In the past, learning and education was only about reading books or completing handouts, and the teacher only used the board to teach. Nowadays, technology has become an essential part of the classroom.

• Education has gone from passive to interactive due to the technological advances and to the findings in education.

• There is no necessity of a budget because teachers and students are going to have all the materials they need. For the virtual magazine, students will not need extra materials besides the ones provided by the high school. The most important resource that students will need is the equipment. They will need computers with access to Internet.
