Among all the others, one of the groups of persons most affected by the
restrictions applied to contrast Corona-Virus spread is surely
represented by children. In particular, closing school has been an
action applied by several countries (195 at the beginning of April
2020), involving 1,600,000,000 students all over the world. In Italy,
distance learning activities have been adopted all over the country, at
each educational stage, but with substantial differences (i.e., in terms
of modalities and digital platforms). With the aim of investigating the
most adopted technologies, didactic methodologies, as well as the
impact on schools population, we have involved families of more than
1,000 Italian students, asking them to fill a survey. This paper
presents the analysis of the results we have obtained, focusing on a
delicate group of students: the ones attending primary schools, where
kids learn fundamental knowledge and basic skills.
