Abstract

In times of pandemic, the meeting spaces formed by university groups have been replaced by virtual communication meetings. This has benefited young people by generating options to continue with their preparation in associative training groups that they find in the university, which have been creatively supported by means of technologies. Google Classroom has been part of those solutions that students and tutors have found to meet, train, and share content on topics specific to their associations or extracurricular groups, as well as an exchange of interactions that minimize the impact of social isolation. The advent of education carried out with technological means in emergency situations has opened virtual meeting spaces that manage to create meeting spaces that go beyond the frontier of face-to-face meetings. This paper presents the strategy of using Google Classroom technology for groups of Salesian University Associations that promote the continuity of their activities supported by blended learning technology to meet the objectives within an academic period during a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results presented open one more path, like those found in previous works, from a practical action for university extracurricular work groups.
