This is the way in which 150DIGIT has designed an online space, very different from a traditional website, in which students and teachers can communicate, share knowledge, learn how to plan and produce digital contents. Communication training: A reflection on the development of ICT in education and others training fields (beyond the family and the school, which was traditionally delegated), because the training process is now more complex and varied than in the past, calling into models and paradigms developed in field of communications theory.

Abstract
“150DIGIT – Italy of schools” is a research project intended to test the model of generative communication in schools (www.comunicazionegenerativa.org). First introduced on the occasion of the celebration for the 150 years of united Italy, the project foresees the involvement of teachers and students within an innovative social network that provides the activation of a “dialogue” allowing generating and gathering of stories and tales that reposition the “institutional portrait” of the country. Through the architecture of a communication platform organized in different working environments, the system allows users to consult official and local materials, create new contents, make their voices heard and, last but not least, reflect and discuss on the procedures and languages that new technologies call into question.
