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.

This project and materials are relevant for science teachers. ETOS (E-Tutor of Science) is based on the Questioning the Author (QTA) method, technique based on the dialogue in the classroom.
The portal is easy to navigate. Guide to use the portal is published to facilitate the use of didactic resources (http://ifa.amu.edu.pl/~e-nauczyciel/final/instrukcja_stosowania_produktu.pdf) . The portal also includes the lesson plans to use the innovative approach. All materials for teachers are published here: http://wa.amu.edu.pl/e-nauczyciel/teacher_materials.
Project portal redirects users to e-learning platform (http://150.254.71.124/platforma/szkola.php) where didactic materials on biology, chemistry and physics are published. They are addressed to students of primary and lower secondary school. The platform is also equipped with a mini-WWW (http://150.254.71.124/platforma/szukaj.php), which is a database of articles on this issue equipped with a search engine.

E-teacher of Environment is an interesting initiative. The strategy of using multimedia to teach science can be used both in primary and secondary schools. To facilitate the use of the resources you can use the guide. The entire material is attractive and ready to use in school. Interesting lesson scenarios may be useful to every teacher.

The site contains useful materials for learning biology, chemistry and physics. E-tutorials are designed in an attractive way. Presentations show natural phenomena in interesting way. A good option is to search engine if you are looking for information on the topic.
