Instructional technology which is grounded in theory and empirical research on learning and communication and concerned with improving the efficiency and effectiveness of instruction, refers to the implementation and evaluation of a teaching and learning process towards particular objectives. It is impossible to separate education and technology which are two major dynamics nowadays. That's why teaching technology must constantly improve itself.

Students have open minded visual education which is also mentioned in EU education reports. Starting from this point, DIALoguE intends to develop a new tool which will be used in all subjects in the school. However, in our project we focus on history lessons.

The results of the study revealed a low number of classroom activities focused on watching movies in history lessons. However, compared to many other activities, watching movies was ranked first in terms of its pleasure. Consequently, our project will attract students to history classes by leveraging technology, provide permanent learning for students, help students to develop an empathetic approach to historical events, facilitates the professional development of teachers, improves student’s intercultural communication and peer relationships, and increase student’s ability to think creatively.

Accordingly, in this project, we have designed a digital tool and teaching method that integrate cinema films and short films shot by students into the history curricula. We identified and utilized the opinions of teachers and students in the design of this tool. Project “DIALoguE” therefore wants to:

• Production of a new tool for education technologies with international cooperation
• Generating an innovative approach in the education understanding
• Establishing permanent learning in lessons
• To raise the awareness of teachers in the subject from out of the norm methods in history lessons.

Some expected results of using the tool in the lessons:

• using technology in lessons
• raise teachers’ awareness about using new teaching methods
• to provide continuity in teacher career development
• develop positive effects on student approach to history lesson.
