Abstract :
This research makes innovative use of technology to enhance students´ learning experiences in Project Work, by providing interaction through technology to make individual and group thinking more visible. Technology has evolved significantly, which provides opportunities to test new methods of teaching. The idea is to use technology creatively to deconstruct and redefine the classroom, in order to enhance learning experiences for students and to encourage thinking out of the box. The hypothesis is that meaningful virtual instructions, routines or systems would improve students´ learning experience and cooperation.
