This work is part of a doctoral research developed with second year technical students at the Federal Center of Technological Education of Minas Gerais, CEFET-MG, in order to arouse the student’s interest in scientific research in a STS (Science Technology Society) education aproach. The student´s interest in the subject matter, as well as, in the scientific publication led to the creation of an open access electronic journal BioNews Science Magazine with the aim of contributing to the diffusion of new scientific knowledge on the theme. The National Curriculum and the National Guidelines for Secondary Education (Brazil 1999) emphasizes the contextualized teaching and learning process supported by the meaningful everyday experiences. According to Gomes (2005), the use of the Web in schools is increasingly cross-disciplinary. Incorporation of digital learning resources in education intends to mobilize and sensitize individuals to the issues surrounding the technology advancement. This work investigated the use of educational technology to draw alternative teaching and learning strategies about current issues in biotechnology. Scientific papers were written by the students with the use of a digital learning tool and published at “Bionews Science Magazine” Promising qualitative results were achieved.
