Contesto: Internet è un mondo di comunicazione in gran parte libera e di condivisione reciproca, ma rappresenta anche un rischio per la tutela della privacy e della riservatezza. È importante che gli operatori sanitari forniscano istruzione sull'uso corretto della tecnologia, creino programmi di supporto e stabiliscano la correlazione tra uso della tecnologia e dipendenza. L'obiettivo del progetto di educazione sanitaria è educare i bambini delle scuole secondarie all'uso responsabile delle tecnologie digitali.

Materiali e metodi: La formazione segue un programma di apprendimento misto, che combina diversi strumenti: e-learning; attività in aula con il docente di classe e il formatore del progetto; l'utilizzo di scenari, sia online che offline; e discussioni sui forum online.

Risultati: Lo sviluppo di un programma di formazione di sei moduli della durata di un anno scolastico.

Conclusioni: Un metodo di insegnamento innovativo che utilizza le tecnologie digitali può garantire un apprendimento personalizzato, autonomo e collaborativo: ogni allievo diventa il principale contributore della propria formazione.
