The article deals with modern information technologies in the educational practices of an educational institution. The questions of the theory and practice of using modern information technologies are described in scientific researches of recent years and developed in different ways: the preparing specialists in the system of higher education for the usage of computer information management of educational institution, the development of students’ information culture in the process of studying informatics, the usage of information and communication technologies in the process of teaching other subjects. The essence of information and communication technologies integrates the semantics of the term "communication" and involves the process of communication, exchange of views, knowledge, feelings, patterns of behavior, as well as the joint activities of communication participants in the process which produces a common view of things, events and environment. Basic functions of social communication: information (information about objects, its properties, phenomena, actions and processes); expressive (defines the ability of social communication to transmit evaluative information about objects or phenomena); pragmatic (social communication is a means that prompts a person to act and act). It is specially noted that diversity of communication situations that are created in a virtual informational environment, gives each person the opportunity to realize and develop their personal qualities as a patriot citizen. These particular features of the usage of new information technologies are the most valuable in organizing the education of students who feel the need to take their own position in society, to realize themselves as members of a civil society, to understand themselves and their possibilities. It is shown that the usage of modern information technologies in the development of the information space of an educational institution allows to differentiate information flows in the program plan so that thematic unity of information is not violated, the functional purpose of information blocks was preserved, content of materials corresponded to the needs of a certain category of users. It is reported that  in order to increase the efficiency of the activities of military patriotic education of students, it is proposed to use the content part of the unified electronic educational and teaching environment of the educational institution: hypertext and multimedia educational and methodical complexes, electronic textbooks, the usage of native and foreign information reference systems, electronic libraries, as well as information resources of the native electronic newspapers and magazines about patriotism; to create an information block in the structure of the only educational institution's information space, where the heroic and patriotic subjects and traditions of the Ukrainian people would be described. The author emphasizes that according to some scholars, the education of patriotism and the usage of information technology, should have: the creation of the only educational space; formation of social and cultural environment in the educational process; introduction of the regional component in the educational process; the complex usage of various types of educational and extra-curricular work for the implementation of patriotic education; regular monitoring with the aim of studying the effectiveness of work on patriotic education; development of students' creative abilities. It is analyzed that there is a tendency towards the gradual change of traditional forms in favor of information technologies in the developed countries of the world in the field of patriotic education, especially, the gaming computer industry. For patriotic education, it is necessary to carry out an information exchange between the subjects of the only information environment of educational institutions through the usage of information technology. In modern conditions of the formation of an information society, there is a need for the integration of information technologies and traditional forms of work on patriotic education for its most effective usage.
