TWO INTERESTING METAPHORS
network knowledge as a schema network:
continuous retroactive feedback between
subject and environment; this feedback
changes and enriches the subject as well as
the environment
community the learning process is possible
by virtue of the participation to the
community
Our learning environment must be continuously modified by learners themselves and
the learners community is the source both of the content
as well as the learning possibility
Our mission: provide an answer

WHY?
•
To give an an answer to 3 basic question:
•
Can the digital learning environment be useful
in order to form a deeper relationship among
students and among students and teachers?
•
Can a digital learning environment modify a
teaching/learning model?
•
Can these changes influence the quality of
students' skills and knowledge?
More than the medidium itself, it is the
social context and use of a medium that
determin the medium's impact on
children's way of thinking
