It examines the range of approaches to the educational integration. Following K. Иbbott, it examines three areas of research of digital technologies (concerning training and repetition, supporting the educational process and creating learning opportunities).It also regards the place of each approach to the development of inclusion in education. In conclusion, it discusses the problems and perspectives of development of this area of research and development
