12. The teacher supports and guides the students,
creating online situations of exploratory and
collaborative learning.
The students
communicate
collaborate
interact
experiment with interactive learning objects and
other online tools-environments
investigate the concepts under negotiation
submit their work.

Digital lessons in the electronic School
Classroom (e-class)
These courses
• are open, so they do not require registration in order for
students to have free and easy access without the need
for an account.
• serve to gather, post and use educational material (eg
activities, presentations, interactive learning objects,
hyperlinks) for the smooth running of remote teaching.
• enable immediate access to the material and avoiding
tracking, avoiding unnecessary delays ( file upload).

Digital lessons in the electronic School
Classroom (e-class)
In the "Internet Connections" section of the
course, interesting links have been included of
online tools-environments as well as
interactive learning objects, in order to have
effective active involvement-interaction.

a = 0
for i from 1 to 3 // loop three times
{
a = a + i // add the current value of i to a
}
print a // the number 6 is printed (0 + 1; 1 + 2; 3 + 3)

This is a simulation of the spread of an epidemic.
Use the slider to control what percentage of the
population stays at home.
The graph shows how the number of sick people
changes over time.
Color Code: Healthy/Blue, Sick/Red, Recovered/Green
32. The transfer of teaching from the physical school
classroom to the Internet requires
