In the educational context, technology is increasingly
perceived as a key element of great educational renewal. For this reason, its
use must be versatile and dynamic and adapt to various factors such as the
teacher, the specific level of education, the characterising elements of the
discipline, the age of the students, the cultural background of the families,
and the availability of technological and financial resources. The essay
proposes a reflection on the school-family relationship during the period of
distance learning, through the analysis of the data that emerged from a survey
conducted on a sample of 1326 parents, to verify how technologies found their
way into the home, whether or not they were of help in carrying out teaching
activities, or whether they represented an obstacle for families due to the
lack of adequate digital competences.
