This work was carried out with the participation of eighth grade students and teachers of the institution Ezequiel Hurtado, Silvia, department of Cauca. For the diagnosis a survey was applied to students and teachers of natural sciences and as a result, it is important to say that the general concern in the institution is the limited use that students make with technology because it does not go beyond chatting, social networks, play video games and sometimes with office processes although there is restricted access to internet. It means they do not appropriate technological tools as generators of knowledge. Finally, an Electronic book proposal was elaborated, focused on the area of natural sciences according to the contents that have been given these last two years. The process generated great expectations on the part of the students and professors to the point that they think about the application on other areas.
