Abstract

How to conceive educational software in order to enhance learning? The emergent educational technology has brought us a number of tools that makes possible to create multiple pedagogical conditions, encouraging a constructivist approach to learning. The purpose of this paper is to show how to conceive interactive learning tools to generate engaging pedagogical experiences for the learning of geometric transformations at basic school level.
