A widely held preconception puts the virtual (including the Internet) in opposition with the concept of the "real". However, it is simply a recent tool, amongst many others, that we have to know how to use. In the name of convenience or safety, the major access providers to this virtual world channel and control its use. Most users are not sufficiently prepared to identify valid, practical information. The virtual profoundly modifies our relationship with space and time, increases our ability to act and opens new possibilities for citizenship, cultural dissemination, participative information, etc. How can we promote intelligent and critical use of this new tool? Through what experiences?
