Abstract
This research addresses the problem of poor academic performance, low motivation, in tenth-year students of Basic General Education in the area of Social Sciences, caused by the predominant use of traditional methodologies. The main objective is to design a teaching guide that complementarily integrates the digital tools Canva and Google Earth to improve the teaching-learning process. The study is developed under a mixed approach, with a descriptive design and a type of field research. The population is made up of 90 students, applying a convenience sampling with a final sample of 71 students. Pre-test and post-test surveys are used. The results show a positive perception towards digital tools, with more than 67% acceptance, and a significant improvement in academic averages: parallel A increases to
1.68 points, B 1.75 and C 1.72. The implementation is successful, favoring active participation, contextualized understanding and student motivation, consolidating itself as an innovative and pedagogical strategy.
