Abstract

Teachen have in real and virtual museums a didactic tool with innovative and creative potential that allows students to acquire knowledge based on the observation of the natural, historical, artistic, scientific and technical enviroment. The use of virtual museums as a didactic tool helps furthermore to familiarize students with the cultural and scientific patrimony they have inherited and they should be able to increase in the future. The principles that rule every didactic action influence on any strategy that we may apply to the use of virtual museums as a didactic tool.
