ACQUIRING AUTONOMY AT SCHOOL AND IN WORK GROUP THROUGH INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

This paper describes an experience in training students in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which took place in Spring 2015. The aim was to allow students to use ICT devices and applications in a self-aware manner, so to help them become autonomous. In particular, advanced programming and web technologies were taken into account, since they are both useful and appealing for young students. Such technologies were investigated and web sites designed and developed for describing a project or, simply, homework. Another aspect considered in this experiment was the degree of freedom to be left to individuals in groupwork.
