One of the most critical aspects that emerged in these times is linked to the role of classic institutions, family and school, which from many sides have been questioned for the complex educational processes within the communication ecosystems generated by the digital dimension. The new volume of the essayist Francesco Pira traces a path starting from the questions about the new cultural models, the evolution of interrelation between individuals, from physical to information environments and the impact on learning processes and proposes a precise reference to the two prospects of media education and education. Also drawing on the data of national and international investigations that help to better understand what the reference framework is in which the school moves, the author wanted to investigate how to combine the innovative aspects of the latest experiences related to media education and education to give life to an educational process that puts the dialogue and listening to a new perspective of digital citizenship at the center.

Italian has adapted to the impact of new technologies. A work that can certainly contribute to the scientific debate of a sociological matrix, aimed at defining a strategic approach to education capable of governing the innovation processes and not to adapt to the changes imposed by the logic of digital capitalism.
