Cognitive tools represent the most effective approach for the pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Cognitive tools are applications and technologies that are created or modified and used by the student to represent their knowledge, engaging them necessarily in meaningful processes of critical thinking and higher cognitive functions.

Cognitive tools are integrated into a comprehensive learning framework defined by teaching scenarios, which include the overall organization and management of the lesson as well as teaching plans with learning activities.

The book consists of two parts. The first part addresses issues related to technologies and their pedagogical utilization, providing the theoretical background for the reader who wishes to pedagogically utilize ICT, particularly within the integrated framework of teaching scenarios.

The second part presents sample teaching scenarios with an emphasis on the two levels of compulsory education, covering various subject areas. This part of the book offers a basis for creative engagement with the computer, while the authors aim to inspire the design of more teaching scenarios by interested readers.
