ABSTRACT: Information technologies (IT) can be used to support teaching. On the other hand, Biology is deeply changing with IT, creating massive amounts of new data and new tools, available through the web. New ways of building knowledge emerge. This could cause information overload. However these authentic tools and data can be an opportunity: rather than popularize science, helping students to understand complexity and letting them become not only passive consumers, but active creators of worthwhile knowledge. A few design rules for designing science teaching will be presented. RÉSUMÉ Les TIC sont souvent vues comme un moyen de développer l'enseignement. Mais elles modifient profondément la biologie, produisant d'énormes masses de données, et de nouveaux outils. De nouvelles manières de pratiquer la biologie émergent et sont disponibles librement. Cette surabondance peut être vue comme accablante ou comme une opportunité – en exploitant ces outils et ces données authentiques – de développer des stratégies de construction
