Telematics: New Means of Communication and Meeting Distant Worlds

Abstract

We propose the creation of a site for facilitating communication between schools. What subjects should be given space in the home page and what should be introduced subsequently? What should be the relationship between traditional teaching methods and the latest technological novelties? How can we transmit to the students the continuity between the subjects treated in the lessons and the “improvised” chats in the laboratory? This paper presents a series of conclusions on two research studies which proposed the use of the Web as an extension to the tools traditionally used by teachers: from experiments in a local situation to twinning schools on two continents.
