Abstract:
Internet has revolutionized how people find other people, and many students now look for teachers on the Internet. Politicians at European level have recognized that education and training are essential to the development and success of knowledge society. National government, educational system – universities and schools are responsible for education and training; high quality pre-primary, primary, secondary, higher and vocational education and training are the fundament for Europe`s success. The current learning facilities and environment are not the only privileges of traditional schools. Learning results are obtained in formal contexts, in school, as well as through informal context or in non-formal context. E-learning platforms and on-lines schools have an impressive impact on the teaching-learning process of Physics. A transdisciplinary vision of education requires long life education and the computer revolution transforming learning in leisure and recreation in learning. The new interactive aids of teaching/learning emphasize the role of technology-enhanced environments in science learning: such environments allow learners to observe and explore scientific phenomena interactively on the computer. The impact of didactic videos, the advantages of using multimedia means and the Internet make up the most important teaching aid. In this way, teaching/learning physics has evolved from traditional transposing methods - demonstrations on the black board and laboratory experiences - to e-learning platforms that facilitate a distance teaching/learning. Teachers and students can connect and meet live in the Virtual Classroom for an online interactive class. The collaborative web conferencing environment enables you to communicate synchronously using video and audio or through text chat, and to share presentations, documents and images on an interactive whiteboard. We illustrate how the teacher can by integrating multimedia educational resources on instruction at various stages of learning units. We also illustrated how the teacher can teach on-line through WiZiQ.
