Usage of applets to teach physics in a high school

Abstract

The constant use of information and communication technologies in the teaching-learning process is a challenge that Dr. Pablo González Casanova campus has taken since it was part of level 1, of the National High school system. The teachers of our campus, aware of the importance of technology in the classroom, have been incorporating in their educational practice, the use of electronic tools such as mobile devices, tablets and internet in the classroom, to have a higher rate of achievement in the subjects, especially in the subject of basic physics. Together, we work towards a migration to a digital culture in the teaching-learning process; where both authorities and teachers and of course students, work in generating a climate that allows self-knowledge, using the technological tools mentioned. Currently, the use of simulators or applets provides a scaffolding to land the theoretical with the practical, generating in the student a highly significant learning. The teacher must prepare constantly before the constant changes and technological advances, building innovation processes from their academic space and contributing to the formation of new generations. The previously mentioned points are the main proposal of this research.
