The Millennials generation is changing the way to learn, promoting that educational institutions try to better adapt to the young's needs through the incorporation of educational technologies. Based on this premise, we have reviewed prominent reports about the integration of TIC on education in order to demonstrate how the education is changing and is going to change, to satisfy the needs of the Millennials with the support of the TIC. We conclude that the most of the investments have resulted in an increase of computers and internet access, with teachers that reproduce tradicional approaches of education and and where the virtual learning is seen as a complement of the face-to-face training. Although it seems that the use of TIC is not revolutionizing the learning, the personalization, collaborations and ubiquity of learning are being easier.
