Abstract

In the digitalised school of the future students and teachers are connected to a network with digital devices while simultaneously maintaining the cogni-tive perspective of the printed culture and the attitudes required by the information-based society. This duality manifests itself in the phenomenon of multiliteracy impacting the very concept of literacy as well. We aim to explore how has multiliteracy influenced the teaching and learning process in today’s schools while identifying the main features of education in the information-based society and examining the potential of multiliteracy in enhancing the effectiveness of the knowledge acquisition process. LEGO device-supported story-telling can provide such opportunities. Various schools in several countries encourage teachers to strengthen the playful aspects of learning and prepare the related educational materials. This gamification-oriented approach helps teachers to increase student in-volvement in designing and solving the respective assignments. Thus, the process emphasizes the nurturing and not the suppressing of the playful attitude in children.
