It is possible to approach the study of the teaching of the image with this approach, thanks to new environments learned-zaje brought about by digital technologies, in which the graphical interfaces (built and configured by language-jes visual), are precisely the didactic element of pedagogical mediation between actors: student-teachers (users), content and learning technologies (GUIs - object), educational institutions and context (environment), teaching-learning process (pedagogical action). Thus, from the analysis of up-tes, educational communication, visual configuration, design and significance of teaching image are elements of pedagogical mediation in the teaching-learning mediated by digital technologies, which act as a vehicle or means digital teaching resources.
