Technology advances exponentially, and with it, education is faced with a great
challenge: to prepare the next generation for the world of tomorrow, for
professions that do not yet exist, for technologies that have not yet been
discovered, with teaching resources now in place and with knowledge held today.
Undoubtedly, computer-assisted training has become a very important element of
modern pedagogy.In this paper we intend to present the experimental results of
the implementation of computer-assisted training in primary education, at the
third grade, experiment conducted within a Romanian elementary school. The
stage of the formative intervention aimed at transforming the classical lessons
into interactive activities, to increase the interest in the learned content and, last
but not least, to improve quality of the school results for the elementary third
grade students.
