  • Abstract
    The educational process nowadays introduces a set of challenges. The high school studentspsila general inability to adhere to the material presented during the class hours as well as the low scores achieved in the set of exams introduced by the state, pose significant educational problems. Adopting modern ICT technologies that will allow students to become a part of the educational activity is compulsory. In this study we present the use of JavaFX as a means of achieving a twofold cause: Firstly the ability to stimulate the attention of students and secondly to achieve a greater understanding of advanced computer science subjects such as the bubble sort algorithm.
