ABSTRACT
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are considered to be the most powerful tool for the support of the learning process. Their main contribution comes from their technological characteristics, the ways they record, represent, manage and transfer information. These characteristics concern the management of high volume of data and information in a short time, information presentation through dynamic interactive and multiple representations, as well as the communication and motives they provide. The essential contribution of ICT to the learning process comes indirectly, through their pedagogical exploitation and certain features that arise for the technological characteristics. This mainly involves tasks for the active participation of students and teachers, action and counteraction through interactive activities, as well as processes that support the creation of mental models.
