Abstract: The paper provides an overview of digital technology integration in education, from computers to other more advanced forms of Information Technology, through which teachers and students use innovative methods in the educational process The schools and universities use a diverse set of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) solutions to commu­nicate, create, store, and manage information in any contexts. ICTs have also become intrinsic to the teaching-learning interaction. In this digital era, ICTs are essential for giving students opportunities to learn and apply the re­quired 21st-century skills. ICTs are essential for teachers in performing their role of maker of pedagogical environments. The advantage of ICTs in edu­cation is that students can learn from extracurricular materials. ICTs devel­op higher-order thinking and reasoning skills.

By integrating ICTs into education, students become more interested in learning, thanks to new technologies that make learning amusing and cre­ative, improving learning in many ways. ICTs encourage collaboration when students work as a team and improve communication skills when students discuss and study together.

In this paper, one proposes a new teaching-learning methodology based on ICTs. This methodology consists of the transmission in advance to the students of the course support to inform them about the topics to be ad­dressed. At the time provided for the respective lecture, one will present to the students the course support using the video projector, and one will com­ment/analyze the content of the course, bringing clarifications and addi­tions. This educational approach combines digital components on-line with face-to-face learning instruction. With the proposed methodology one can plan such courses to increase motivation, provide more feedback and help students learn on their own. ICTs help the teacher to present his teaching attractively.
