Description
The Web has enabled a renewal of the concept of education which includes a new educational model that enables learning anywhere and at any time. The expansion of Internet allows students to have a more active role in the learning process. The curriculum can be (re) build and integrated in an interdisciplinary way. The educational use of ICT in the formal curriculum may be made through collaborative learning processes of interaction and negotiation of meanings, using diverse tools. Regular use of computers and Internet in the classroom allows the development, dissemination and evaluation of student’s achievements. This article describes an ongoing research which included integration of computers and the Internet in the teaching and learning methods and strategies in the disciplines of Biology and Geology in a Portuguese high-school.
