The computer is a universal and powerful tool to process information and the teachers can become a teaching assistant special. However, do not forget that it is an instrument. That is, the computer itself does not perform any action, but in the hands of the master, can be used to teach. This should be the starting point for developing strategies that allow teachers to effectively use computers.
On the road to be traveled to achieve an effective use of computers in school, raises questions such as: What content should be included or excluded? What is the best sequence? What strategy should I use? How can they be sustained learning? How Computers can be linked with different subjects? There are no simple answers to such questions. What you can do is develop a method that allows each teacher to design their courses with greater use of technology.
In this paper, we first analyze the most common situations that occur in schools when seeking to use computers with some educational purpose, taking into account that many times in a school can be given simultaneously different ways to use computers. Not find that this analysis is comprehensive, but the objective is to define an integrative model of various modes of computer use at school.
Then make a brief review of learning theories that have been and are related to computer use as a teaching tool. At this point, define the elements to set a framework that allows the design of learning activities which use the computer.
Having defined the framework proposes a model that represents the Design Process with Information and Educational Activities for the record format of these activities to facilitate the design and control of them.
Finally there are some specific examples and makes some recommendations on the use of Internet.
