Summary/Abstract: The computers usage and the application of teaching strategies based on new technologies in educational activities contribute to developing new forms of organizing teaching which are not possible by traditional means and methods. Computers’abilities of processing, recording and retrieval of information determine entering situations where the student acquires knowledge and skills independently, in accordance with his own interests and aspirations. The processes suggested by multimedia lessons for various disciplines represent a way of learning that involves understanding and explaining the content, but more, a mechanism of building a chritical thinking. Information is presented in order to stimulate alternative and open interpretations, being a means of forming competences, values and atitudes.The impact studies conducted on the occasion of introducing different types of educational software in schools demonstrate their utility, the target is especially the students' learning progress, with comparable results, regardless of their original level. The study of physics can be achieved through a methodological variety . The computer entering in the classroom allowed the appeal, through CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction), to simulation software (interactive models), which prove to be particularly useful in studying this subject, because the simulation is interactivity, modeling, visualization in scientific field, it is a way to obtain the image and study of different models, processes or phenomena inaccessible to direct observation.
