Abstract
The authors stress some of the main points to be taken into consideration for
the succesful introduction of IT&T (Information Technologies and
Telecommunications) in educational fields. They base their reflections on their work and experience at the Educational Technology Office (GATE) of the UPM.
They have classified the principal factors at three levels: (1)
Institutional level: Training for teachers in order to implement
IT&T, infrastructure availability and economic support, choosing
consolidated technologies and technical support, student-teacher ratio,
dissemination of pilot experiences, teacher motivation, (2) Pedagogical
level teacher's role and subsequent educational models and (3) Technical level: different communication structures depending on the different
combinations of the technologies used.

Abstract:
Nowadays it is available a powerful educational tool. Computer based New
Tecnologies applied to Education (NTF). The process of developing and applying
these tecnologies to real cases is still being largely researched. An
experiment on Basic Computing Science based on N.T.F techniques has been
developed at the School of Mining Engineering of the UPM, in Madrid. This
experiment has been put into effect in two stages: the first one was
experimental, selecting a group among the students and testing the hypothesis and methodologies.The second stage, a real life test was conducted in the Algebra first year course. For this experiment it has been used a computer network where there have been implemented a number of didactic units. The role of the professsor is to coordinate, supervise and support the students complementing the self training scheme provided by this N.T.F. system.

Abstract:
In this presentation we briefly describe an evaluative study of software in
progress at the University of Sevilla, concerning a hypertext application we
have developed and implemented in the university environment.
One phase of this study consists of a pilot program, which attempts to
determine user perceptions as to the limitations and possiblities of the
application for both educators and students. Another phase, using analysis of
these first evaluations, is to contruct a more specific instrument for
continued evaluation, and its corresponding categorized system of analysis and qualitative data.

Abstract:
The technological advance has contributed in general, to the human being, new and improving possibilities to develop a way of life more complete and, at the same time, broaden horizons.
The inclusion of progress in the technology in daily life has involved a
social progress.
This social progress has been notable in the case of people with some visual
handicap, giving rise to the Tiflotechnology.
Tiflotechnology is the set of techniques, knowledge and resources directed
towards securing the appropriate resources for the correct use of the
technology for blind and visual handicapped.
Key Words:
Tiflotechnology, Visual handicapped, Blind, Braille System, Family, School and Labour integration.

Abstract:
We present the results of the experience done with a pupil with cerebral palsy to prove the feasibility to introduce the computer science and some software management in the curriculum of those pupils with serios physical handicaps in order to make easier their working life and not being only conditioned to their physical disorders.

Abstract:
This paper aims at presenting the preliminare findings of research study to detect what vas restricting the use of telecomunications systems in University Autónoma del Carmen (Campeche-Mexico).
Also, we included ours reflexions about cuestions that must be considered in
theaching training in order to improve these uses of the telecomunications
systems.
We will suggest some main purpose of the study that will be the an couragement of pedagogical knowledge about these systems telecomunications among theachers that let these professionals take advantage of the potencial beneficits of thecnolgical resource.
