The presentation of cultural heritage information is typically addressed with the use of web pages eventually integrated with specific visualization of 3d models that complete the textual information. The problem with this type of information is its extent, its complexity and the connection between the various concepts. This paper presents an Information Landscape system for the fruition of this type of information through a virtual environment, available both for desktop and immersive visualizations.

In latest years there is a consisting trend in creating educational opportunities for schools increasingly rich and involving for children. Constructivism and technology represent an important combination to define innovative educational courses. Storytelling is the fundamental link to convey the use of technology in didactic paths purposely conceived and structured for children, exploiting their natural fondness to use elements of their everyday culture and communication. This project paper presents our experience in setting up and using a technology-based communication methodology for learning, so as to let children discover about drawing, one of the most ancient communication techniques. Starting from texts and stories, selected based on their age, children learn how to interpret and translate into images the content they wish to communicate, building the storyboard of their digital tale, and using their creativity on texts, images and other components in order to realize a multimedia application

A number of real-life experiences are presented, together with a discussion of advantages and limitations of the proposed methodology.
