She has always had a passion for educational technology. Formerly, videos and cassettes were a must in her teaching lessons; computer was and still is present. Her brother Gastón C. Hillar designed some programs and games for her courses. Lately, she is teaching using Moodle 1.9 and the Web 2.0. She believes that one of the most amazing challenges in education is bridging the gap between classic education and modern technologies.
