One of the forms of the application of modern educational technology
in physics teaching is the use of computers. Their use demands the
education of teachers which should include basic «information
literacy». The teacher familiar with these elements can broaden
the methods of active teaching using computers and all informations
which either he or his student can obtain in a more efficient manner:
the examples of new methods of class organization for professional
and scientific lectures dealing with teaching physics and related
disciplines, the examples of other countries curricula, simple experiments
and problems to be solved. Besides this, the computers are essential
in the treatment of data obtained by the experimental measurements
as well as simulations of experiments, which can not be a complete
substitute, but in the case of lack of adequate equipment in the
schools can visualise the measurement procedure and make the students
familiar with it. Today there exists a series of educational software
adapted to the age of students. We shall analyze our experience with
one such program including historical notes, tests, problem solving
and experiments.
