Abstract
Interesting and instructive experiments using data-logging and info-communications technology (ICT) can shift science learning from the teacher-centred paradigm to the student-centred paradigm and increase the motivation of the learners in the discipline. At the same time, based on projects crafted from these experiments, teachers can build global learning communities through web-based interaction, dialogue, and competitions.
