Computer programs in technical and information technology education

Abstract

Multimedia educational software is being increasingly used in teaching at primary and secondary school. This results in a faster growing market of multimedia teaching tools and computer hardware. A teacher plays a key role in education, whose task is to select such programs that will positively stimulate intellectual development of young people [5]. One cannot expect the student himself to make the optimal choice of software because he lacks the knowledge of teaching, psychology, and the more of substantial scope of a particular subject [5, 2]. The study presents the essential criteria for the selection of computer programs used by teachers of technical and information technology classes.
