Scuola e innovazione tecnologica. Riflessioni a margine dell'emergenza sanitaria Covid-19

About three years after the COVID-19 epidemiological emergency, the issue of integrating the e-learning mode with traditional teaching is still strongly felt. The moment of the health emergency has highlighted quite a few critical issues in the school system, particularly the malaise of traditional teaching-learning models when the use of e-learning teaching methodologies was imposed. This circumstance which, while on the one hand has made it possible for significant experiences of multimedia teaching to re-emerge, has also brought to the surface a tacit criticality: the distance on the part of most teachers from technology. It is now evident that the health crisis has highlighted a scholastic, formative and educational crisis, in the face of which a necessary training of teachers regarding the implementation of technology and the tools of the digital world in the everyday teaching has become equally evi-dent. Thus, a fundamental pedagogical need emerges that rethinks systemically the utilitarian idea of technology for a new place in teaching-learning processes based on the value added paradigm proposed in the 1960s by Alberto Manzi.
