The Internet has become an essential tool in the society in which we live, so schools have not been indifferent to this phenomenon. Its use has become an indispensable action in the daily work of an educational institution.
Through this study we aim to analyze the current state of connectivity in the Spanish education system, and to determine the connectivity divide that exists between the different Spanish regions.
It has been observed from a general perspective that, unlike teachers' and students' beliefs in the different educational centers, connectivity is in an optimal condition, with an average percentage of connection availability in the classrooms of more than 90%. However, not all autonomous communities enjoy the same quality of connection, with significant differences depending on the region where the focus is placed. This is a disadvantage in developing a pedagogical sequence based on technology in the classroom.
