The purpose of this chapter, derived from a corresponding thesis on the issue of folk culture and education, is to explore the role of information technology and information and communication technologies (ICT) in the production of digital educational material. In essence, the work comes to contribute to the scientifc debate on whether technology can enhance the relationship between folk culture and education through interactive-multimedia and online technologies. Simultaneously, this project also aspires to contribute to the confguration of the instruction of folk culture through enriched teaching interventions by analog and digital means. INTRODUCTION This paper presents the implementation of a research applied, for the first time in Greece, as far as we know in the field of folk culture and education, the experimental research with intervention groups (IGs) and control groups (CGs) on a fairly large sample of students (eight Elementary School classes) attempting to compare the effectiveness of digital enriched teaching to the analog enriched teaching. Thus, useful conclusions will be exported about whether multiple media (analog and digital) along with appropriate teaching design, can create enriched teaching situations, in which students will be able to search the context for learning experiences by combining authentic situations and learning within groups.
