Therefore on top positions of thechoosing list we find different combinations of teachingresources belonging to the new communication technologies(ITC). From 218 investigated subjects, 147 (67.3%) declarethey use teaching resources belonging to the new technologiesat least once a week. Of those, 21 subjects (9.6%) declare theyuse modern technologies once a day, 58 subjects (26.6%) saythey use the ITC resources combinations once or even twiceper day and 68 subjects (31.2%) declare they use ITCresources 1-2 times per week.
