The portal users demonstrated to appreciate very much the attention paid by Dienneti to the
resources and materials in Italian language. These are considered well oriented to the practical and
free use in the framework of several educational disciplines, scholastic management, study and
research and educational process in general. The contents, available in a wide selection of languages,
are into the “Aree disciplinari” (“Disciplinary Areas”) section where they are organized by the main
educational disciplines.
The section “Percorsi tematici” (“Thematic paths”) provides many paths on the same topics of the
previous section and more. Other learning path and reviews of didactic commercial software are
available into the “Archivio” (“Archive”) section. A selection of information and articles relating to the
field Didactic and New Technologies “Rassegna Stampa” (“Press Release), of events such as
conventions and conferences in education technology and education “Eventi e News” (Events and
News), and other sites that deal with teaching and technologies “Siti Amici” (“Friends Sites”). These
are very interesting since it is possible to access to reviews for catalogued applications both for the
recipient's age and for the subject areas involved, articles on technologies and their use for
educational purposes, presentations for school projects concerning technological education.

and allowed to find resources either in national languages or English. For each subject/language there
are different types of materials.
TEACHERS’ OPINION
Very extensive site for both the disciplinary scope and the school level. The users can find several kind
of resources, including some excellent link.
The language courses are initially free of charge, but in order to continue, after the registration it is
