Summary/Abstract: Schools face many challenges in the contemporary world. Because of their omnipresence, the use of digitisation and modern technologies cannot be ignored during school lessons. Using these technologies helps teachers to reach out to their students in transferring knowledge in an accessible and attractive way that takes into consideration individual needs and abilities. Traditional teaching methods no longer suffice in order to achieve educational success. Teachers today often have to reach for the resources provided by the Internet. This article presents a project of a biology class that is given on computers. Pupils obtain knowledge by using various education platforms and exercises, 3D models and videos. Attention is also paid to the positive influence of the mentioned techniques on the involvement and motivation of students towards learning, posing questions, seeking answers, as well as developing and expanding their interests by assuming the role of explorer and discoverer.
