Summary/Abstract: The transformations of the last 20 years in science and technology changedthe role and place of education in the school environment. The strategy known asflipped classroom provides the possibility of transmitting content online, creating"mirror classroom". Thus, students can collaborate and socialize with colleaguesfrom home or from class on a specific subject of History, after becoming familiarwith the new content outside the classroom. This strategy was useful during thepandemic, allowing the move of the teaching activity into the virtual environment.Starting with March 2020, students and teachers applied knowledge in teaching andlearning History, proving the ability to use new digital tools and applications, aswell as digital platforms. The exchange of ideas, the experiential learning carried outby students and teachers in collaboration are positive aspects of learning History inthe virtual environment. Acquiring specific skills using the new digital tools providesthe possibility of cooperative learning in the virtual space, the conduct of learningactivities with an applicative role, and the organisation of personalized learningpathways facilitating students' access to verified data proposed by the teacher.Difficulties in the use of technology and lack of real empathy and communication arethe main drawbacks of online learning.
