As of the 1st quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the pandemic caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus, infectious agent of COVID 19, social distancing was proposed as means to deal with this emergency and teaching went remote. In order to find out how teachers dealt with this situation, we conducted a survey using an online questionnaire and asked them to answer, among other aspects, their familiarity with digital media, their perception of their students' appreciation to this type of class and how much of what they have learned during the pandemic they will take to their classrooms once we return to face to face classrooms. In conclusion the technological advances available are allowing teachers, students and guardians to achieve the necessary educational goals, however, they do not guarantee the desired equity. The mismatch of technological advances between teachers and students, between city regions, between social and economic power etc., reveals the delicate situation of the educational system in our state. Even in schools and public universities where several strategies have been taken to give students more accessibility, it is still not possible to guarantee it. One of the obstacles beyond the economic one is the preparation of teachers who have not advanced to some of the needs of the 21st century.  Keywords: COVID-19. Remote learning.
