An exploratory and participatory research on the Ecuadorian reality is promoted, incorporating criteria of educational applications related to gamification, collaborative work, flipped classroom, and creative thinking. As result of the review, four evaluation criteria are identified: gamification, creative pedagogical practice, flipped classroom, and collaborative learning. Creative pedagogical practice stands out with 42% of the experiences, focusing on the use of technology and innovation. The proposal's phases and the screens of the national reality subject with which students begin the teaching-learning process for each mentioned pedagogical practice are presented.
