A School with iPad

The learning of science has always been a major obstacle for our Italian students. The cause is probably not to be found in the complexity of the content, but rather in the particular in which way learners are usually initiated in these subjects. The purpose of this study is to focus our attention on the possible positive effects that digital teaching aids can have on learning-related scientific disciplines. In fact, it is thought that the new digital tools can be a bridge between students’ prerequisites and the teacher's, and ensure the achievement of objectives that do not concern only the content, but above all the means of achieving path to achieve them. In particular, we discuss an experience conducted at the Professional Institute “L. Scarambone” Lecce (in the South of Italy). With this brief research we will evaluate the effects on the development of the skills of logical and scientific tools online that foster the development of scientific content better than traditional teaching with the paper book.
