The evolution of information and communication technologies (ICT) has boosted transformation in education and public school. The indiscriminate use of the personal computer has flooded our schools with works like «select all, copy and paste». The public school reduces the digital exclusion, but the training of teachers in these subjects should be considered a priority. ICTs in education, as well as information provided by them, correspond to the discovery of a new educational dimension. A strong educational force, incorporating the needs of the twenty-first century, gives new technologies a major role, as mediators of the educational act.
