FaTe -Favole e Tecnologia (Tales and Technology) is a project carried on by Politecnico di Milano which is composed by an on-line course for teachers and threeCD-ROMs for pupils from 4 to 8 year old. The blended solution proposed comes out from a previous edifying collaboration between university and primary school teachers: their huge passion for the use of NT in didactics and their aptitude for systematically thinking about their own experience made interactive tales come true and truly didactic. The present paper highlights the importance of a dialogue with schools to understand learning and teaching needs in order to help research on the relationship between ICT and education to advance; it proposes the results of several focus group with teachers, which guided the interactive tales' CD-ROMs and the on-line course production, promoting a conscious and creative use of informatics.
