Research suggests that students immersed in technology-rich learning environments are more enthusiastic about ICT and use technology daily for different purposes, developing a wide range of competencies. These competencies are not always developed in formal learning contexts due to some constrains also reported in the literature. This paper presents a study about students’ use of ICT in and out of school, carried out in two different schools in the region of Aveiro, Portugal. It involved students from the 2nd Cycle of Basic Education (CBE) ranging from X to Y years old and students from Secondary Education (SE), ranging from X to Y years old. This is a multi-case and descriptive study. Data was gathered through two online questionnaires. From the results the authors concluded that the percentage of 2nd CBE students who use ICT at home is similar to the one of the SE students. The most frequent activities that 2nd CBE students perform using ICT in and out of school are similar and related to the ones taking place in formal learning contexts. On the contrary, SE students’ use of ICT in and out of school is diverse. Out of school, they often use Web 2.0 technology, which is hardly used in formal learning contexts. The results confirm others research findings and allow putting forward some insights on how to integrate ICT in formal learning contexts more efficiently.
