Ubiquitous learning has been shown to be effective in modalities that require continuous access to curricular content. This study proposed ubiquitous learning strategies using Google Classroom in secondary education, adopting an empirical-analytical approach with bibliometric analysis. An activity was carried out at the Private Language School ‘Aprende Alemán Jugando’ in Guayaquil, Ecuador, with 100 students, focusing on teaching German grammar using Google Classroom. The results indicated that the planning based on ubiquitous learning strategies had an acceptance rate of more than 90 %. Finally, the integration of Google Classroom in secondary education optimised these strategies and facilitated the virtualisation of face-to-face activities. This study contributes to the educational field by demonstrating how digital tools strengthen teaching and adapt to technological advances, generating new opportunities for education in hybrid environments.
