Utilization of Web2.0 Services in Secondary Education:
Students Create Interactive Learning Objects About “Greek Revolution”

Abstract: The present article describes the theoretical framework and the application of a teaching intervention of interdisciplinary character between the course of History and Informatics in C class of Greek High School. The interdisciplinary collaboration was aimed at exploring the dimensions of time and space regarding the Greek Revolution of 1821. The use of ICT focused on students creating multimedia information (image, audio, video, text processing) as well as the creative use of Web2.0 tools. The whole teaching intervention led to students creating a timeline that examines the course towards the Greek Revolution (from 1422 to 1821) and an interactive map that tracks the development of the Revolution (from 1821 to 1827). What remains from the completion of the intervention, are the students’ creations as teaching material available on the Internet.
