This paper presents the technology used and the way introduced at the multicultural school of Athens enabling Learning Through Engagement (LTE). We are describing our efforts to shift from traditional learning plans and programs to attention-grabbing learning by teaching and having our students develop thematic sites, wiki content, and animations in parallel to school´s efforts to develop learning games.
