Thanks to this tasks we have realized the huge amount of money that agreements between publishing houses and schools or teachers can produce. Most of them don't look for the consumer's benefit, but their own profits.

Infographics: they are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly.

Textbooks: A textbook is a manual of instruction in any branch of study. Textbooks are produced according to the demands of educational institutions. Although most textbooks are only published in printed format, many are now available as online electronic books. Textbooks usually change every three or four years, they are such expensive tools and they are also fixed.

E-Textbooks: they are digital textbooks that are intended to serve as the text for a class. Digital textbooks may also be known as  e-texts. They are a major component of technology-based education reform. They may serve as the texts for a traditional face-to-face class, an online course or degree.

Timeline in Facebook or Twitter: it is a debate or a discussion that uses a social network to connect people's opinions. They are so useful to show different points of views and talk in an easy way with people who can be far away from us.
