Abstract: This article is based on enhancing online interaction while integrating it with face-to-face interaction and promoting access to and development of information and communication technologies (ICT). The aim was to implement digital tools for researching and developing school assignments. The study employed a mixed method approach, incorporating qualitative–quantitative techniques—such as surveys and observations—to analyze documents related to the investigation. The article elucidates the conceptual and theoretical framework, methodological criteria, and interdisciplinary approach that aligns with the investigated group’s profile. The applicability of the proposed methodology was demonstrated in practice, indicating its effectiveness in reaching a superior level of understanding, competence, and behavior. The outcomes substantiate that applying active tools and methodologies grounded in the knowledge of society can reinforce the notion that education is the cornerstone of social development, including ICT.
