Abstract

This article discusses family and school mediations between children and digital technologies, the challenges they face and their possible implications. It is based on a qualitative study that used various methods: questionnaires issued to family members, interviews with teachers, a study group and a focus group with family members and teachers. Regarding skill-developing and/or restrictive mediations observed in the study, it stands out that: the children use digital technologies from an early age, but adults do not always perceive their risks and opportunities; and schooling and social class do not seem to be determinant in the quality of the mediation conducted. Finally, some considerations revise the discussion about the uses of technologies and their family and school mediations in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
