For technologies, communication and information accessibility to older people is necessary to use in their modeling, developing and implementing mental models focused on the ability of these individuals to understand and realize the strategies that enable their social and digital inclusion. The appropriation of these technologies by the elderly should involve the articulation of three aspects: operational, machine language and pedagogical approach. When interacting with technology, the senior refines your thinking about a problem situation, systematizing a description, implementation, reflection and purification. The interactive environment to assist the elderly to build new knowledge and ideas, assumes the presence of a mediator that causes conflicts and problematic situations, as learning, understood as the process for expanding the ability to assess situations and challenges.
