The teaching of Soil Science requires dynamic tools that allow the student to participate continuously throughout the academic cycle. The objective of this research is to integrate technology into learning strategies with technology to improve student performance. The strategies were implemented for 16 weeks in a course of 34 students, and mainly two were applied, which were the preparation of a video and a poster; In the video, the groups that met the assigned requirements were motivated to work with the help of technicians in the production and editing of videos. In the end, a survey was carried out on the students to know which, according to their perception, were the best strategies developed. Data were analyzed descriptively. Both the making of the video and the poster pleased the students because it meant a greater option to learn. This study shows that student motivation can increase as they feel involved with innovative projects that use appropriate resources, tools and strategies. This implementation is useful not only for the course of Soil Science, but even for other fields, depending on the nature of the group and the subject.
