E-Teacher of Environment. Integrated learning environment for the development of scientific thinking, information literacy and language skills of pupils at II and III stage of education funded under the Operational Programme Human Capital and the European Social Fund assumed the development and pilot implementation of an innovative curriculum of science (physics, chemistry, biology and nature in schools basic) modeling technique based on the dialogue in the classroom Questioning the Author and e-learning platform BLT VHT which are included educational multimedia materials made in Flash.
E-learning platform provides an environment in which students while additional classes (45 minutes per week) acquainted with aspects of physics, chemistry, biology and nature. The learning process was based on discussions with the teacher during which methods were used assumptions Questioning the Author (QTA) and advanced Flash animations in which virtual teacher Monika presenting selected issues natural. The platform is also equipped with a module for teaching English vocabulary associated with the phenomena of nature and the module mini-WWW, which is a database of articles on this issue equipped with a search engine articles.

My approbation is mathematics, but I looked through the description of the project with interest and then I looked through the materials from the website of the University which realized the project. I think that offered methodological materials for teachers prepared on the basis of lessons via E-teacher are in my view on the excellent level; appropriately written also for teachers-beginners; they are containing everything that teacher needs to know. I haven´t given the opportunity to students to rate this project, I have just described them the other possible way of teaching.
