The simulation of electronic elements and circuits shows the lesson Electronic Elements (TIO, 8th grade). With the innovative method for digital electronics, the material was presented in a functional and interactive manner, with the application of ICT. Online Falstad Circuit Simulator is used to display the functioning of passive and active electronic elements. By combining them, more complex electronic circuits are formed.

M-learning (mobile learning) is considered “informal learning”and implies learning assisted by all sorts of electronic devices, laptops, mp3 players, tablets, mobile phones, etc. Its basic advantage is enabled learning “any time any place”, and it also encompasses cooperation and information/knowledge sharing with associates or friends or... Of course, there are also rules and laws. The purpose of this presentation is to bring the “mobile learning” concept closer to HRs and help decision-making regarding introduction of M learning in their companies.
'Learn about Šabac' Android app is a project in the field of culture that was created by two students of Faculty of Organisational Sciences, a Literature professor and a teacher. It was created through the connection of primary, secondary and higher education institutions with the town administration, and it is now successfully used in the education system.
Social inclusion unit, which is a part of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development works to increase the quality of education and to make it available to all children and students in Serbia. The role of ICT in this process is key since it allows the teaching process to adapt to specific needs of children. It can also contribute to a timely distribution of information to all participants in the education process and in doing so increase their level of involvement and interaction.

For the project Coronation of Stefan Prvovencani seen by the eyes of students, a blog was opened on which materials were uploaded www.krunisanjestefanaprvovencanog.wordpress.com for students. There were several schools where the time of the Middle Ages was conceived through school projects. All material was published on the blog, and an the exhibition of student works has been organized at the Library of the City of Belgrade. In that way we've connected several schools.

Growing lack of interest of pupils in learning and attending classes has motivated Dragana to apply a new learning method- an upside down classroom. Pupils prepare at home for a new lesson based on the material shared in a cloud. Together we have made classes much more interesting. Dragana has been a teacher of computer science group of subjects at Vocational School “July 4th” in Vrbas for the last eight years. She has 21 years of professional experience. For a number of years she was engaged in computing training for children and adults, on several occasions she authored and implemented curricula accredited by the Ministry of Education.

Virtual interpretation considerably facilitates design and construction of buildings, i.e. of their models. Besides that, parameter-based modelling plays an important role and implies a process enabling performance of specific analyses like analysis of measurements and dimensions, space, assembly and possible behaviour of the designed building by parameter manipulation. Senior assistant at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, University of Banja Luka. Engaged in exploring origami geometry through application of parameter modelling and digital fabrication. Author of a range of student workshops, the results of which have been presented at national and international exhibitions in the category of new technologies application in education.
