             Then, we had to look for the definition of Didactic Software. Then we had to choose a Target content for 10th or 11th grades, where we had to find one didactic software on line in order to be used with that specific topic.

Definition:
“Something didactic exists for the purpose of teaching; a didactic person takes on the role of teacher or advisor”, it means that Didactic Software are technological resources created to teach; for example, online applications. Those can be used to create and edit activities.
