Summary/Abstract: Adapting the teaching of physics to students' learning styles (auditory, visual, and kinesthetic) is improved by using the computer and the SMART whiteboard, who they allow showing the specific materials of these types of learning and helps to increase students’ interest for the lesson. Using of ICT, offers to students: resume, reviewing movies containing real experiments, virtual experiments, the simulations, texts, demonstrations. All these opportunities provide an increased quality of education only if they are integrated into a class project, designed taking into account students capacities for understanding, learning, age-specific memory. Benefits of ICT integration in teaching physics are discussed in this article.
