The development and penetration of new technologies in the contemporary social and educational environment, where schools are not just consuming content but also creating their own, has inspired and motivated Educational Radio-Television (EduTV) to get out, meet the Digital Generation in its own space and become part of its community. The second generation of EduTV is a multimedia platform connected to social networks which offers students and teachers the environment and the tools to design and create their own multimedia projects. Taking an active role in connecting school communities and contributing to the development of audiovisual culture, it motivates and enables students to create User Generated Video reusing and remixing the available videos and newly documented digital content. EduTV participates in MEDEAnet project aimed to promote media-based learning in organisations and practitioners through local training and networking events, online resources and knowledge sharing. In addition, EduTV participates in Energy-bits”, a transmedia European project distributed in both platforms Television and Web, regarding the sustainable use of energy and supported by “Intelligent Energy”.

in Education that uses both Web
2.0 technologies and applications,
like blogs, wikis, tagging, social
networks (social software), as
well as its dynamic ideas and
values as collaboration, dialogue,
participation, sharing and
openness.
The new domain has already to
