Juveniles born after the year 2000 are defined as digital natives due to the ease with which they use the Web. They have, indeed, been able to constantly relate to digital tools since birth and have reached an optimum level of technical ability. Contemporary neuroscience highlights how new media have strongly conditioned the way in which learning takes place and modifies the time taken, styles used and how we understand and analysis the phenomena. Schools have the task, not only of raising awareness, but also that of the ethical and critical the use of these media. This means that every student must understand that the Internet is a powerful tool, which provides information, opinions and thoughts, broadening its range to cover the whole world. The ethical use of the Web consists in the distribution of documented and non-confidential information, which respects the privacy and dignity of each single individual. In order to develop these skills, a simple yet extremely effective study unit in the scientific subjects was planned in two countries: in Italy and in Albania. A video was shown to the Italian pupils about tumours, while Albanian children were shown a video about iron. The pupils of both countries were asked to research the topic using the ‘WebQuest’ method, also to create a digital product (video, poster) which summarized the results obtained and to present the information both in English and their native language during a “Teen Conference” attended by a group of experts, their teachers and their peers. Furthermore, they were asked to reflect on the work done. Project was evaluated by a team of teachers. The activity was efficient because it brought into play many key skills and takes advantage of multiple methods.
