Summary:
The rapid development of New Τechnologies has a positive impact on the educational process.

The main purpose of the study is to enhance the critical thinking and motivation of students regarding the subject of History, along with their socialization through the process of creating the hybrid album. This thesis first presents the historical background, the characteristics as well as the use in the educational process of both the interactive book in general and the hybrid album in specific. A detailed account on the design and implementation of the educational intervention and of the hybrid album produced follows. The thesis concludes with the presentation of the results and the evaluation of whole project.
The research results show that the motivation of the students was enhanced, their better acquaintance with the technological means and the strengthening of their critical thinking and communication through the activities of the crowds. The students successfully responded to the activities assigned to them. These activities were based on crowdsourcing techniques and adapted to the students' abilities, in order to create their own hybrid album, based on the History of DG Elementary School through the Microsoft Sway application.
