There are more than 80,000 educational applications with the intention to collect and analyse the main content in the classroom, between the advantages offered by these applications is that they are integrated to convert the activity in the classroom in a motivating experience that helps the development and management of the classes, in addition to being available at any time without the need for a connection to the internet or its equivalent and without the figure of a classroom teacher.

Has been applied ethnolinguistic methodology for the study of context and MODELI methodology (Methodology for the Design of an Educational Digital Object Indigenous Language) for analysis and design application with m-learning approach. The application is aimed at children of basic education level between 8 and 12 years old in the community. The rapprochement that has children with mobile technology gives in a natural way, by what leads to learning more enjoyable and interactive for the users, therefore the intention is to help children to improve their writing of the Mixtec language and promote their technology skills.
