The Web@Classroom aims to understand the innovation processes in an Internet permanently connected classroom, specially the impacts on teachers (pedagogical practice, patterns of ICT use into the curricular subjects) and on pupils (learning outcomes, development of research skills, development of skills to critically appraise web based information and application of this skills to developing knowledge in the subject area). As an action-research project it is also based in collaborative work strategies, between researchers and schoolteachers and pupils to help them to integrate ICT into the curriculum subjects.

The Web@Classroom aims to study the ICT impacts on teaching and learning processes like the acquisition of skills research, information handling, selection and filtering skills to allow appraise critically web based materials, and other aspects of ICT use on education, by children (age 9-13). This study intends to contribute for the acceptation of the idea that governments and schools should connect the classroom to the Internet, as the Internet is a new and useful source of information and knowledge and children should learn how to use it as a tool for learning. Internet should be present in the classroom, as are other resources and materials like books, videos, and other sources of information and knowledge, building new educational environments in our schools.
