Abstract: The basic goal for the conduction of Microteaching lessons with the use of Multimedia by Greek university students in the Polytechnic School of the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece was to combine difficult technical theory and electrical engineering terminology in the English language with certain practical activities, tasks and exercises in such an effective and innovating way, so that students would easily become acquainted with ambiguous notions and ideas concerning their field of study on one side and the parallel application of essential pedagogical and teaching skills on the other. For instance, students were challenged to get familiar with the procedure for preparing a lesson plan on photovoltaic applications successfully, to select and define their teaching goals, to use suitable teaching means, to record and apply various teaching styles, and finally to implement the most appropriate teaching techniques. This way, Microteaching proved to be a suitable research field for the embodiment of good practices, constituting thus a useful pedagogic and teaching method as well as beneficial (self) evaluation tool. Furthermore, it was found that the utilization of new technologies facilitated the process of critical teaching analysis along with the self-assessment of intern students. During their work, students were separated in groups of five (5) people, thus assuring the largest possible interaction and interrelation, given the fact that they visited together various educational online portals, exchanged emails and messages, participated in discussion groups through skype, viberorzoom, shared responsibilities and acted, eventually, in close collaboration. Each individual voice was utilized within the group and a specific role was given to each member separately contributing with their own experiences to the final outcome. Through the constructive combination of multimedia and team-work, it was found that maximum educational benefits were achieved - a fact that constituted the fundamental goal of this work.
