Summary/Abstract: Communication technologies solidify cultural practices and generate new ones, thanks to which new forms of education appear, such as e‑ education. A child can acquire visual skills, develop imagination and creativity, and obtain knowledge on e.g. life in a large city. Such opportunities are offered by the internet educational platform KULA.gov.pl, created with a view to demonstrate to children the social and historical context of the development of selected Polish cities. The article is an attempt at ex‑post evaluation of functions of an internet website dedicated to children. Accordingly, the aim of the analysis is to identify what cognitive, social, cultural and media competence can be acquired by a child thanks to the internet website KULA.gov.pl.
