Abstract

This article intends to present the educational experience in relation to the transition from the face-to-face education oriented to the writing and audiovisual production to distance education, carried out during the lockdown in the winter 2020/21, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The impossibility of carrying out the activity in presence has dictated unpublished conditions not only about the selection of the arguments to be deepened, but also with reference to the different phases of video production, which in this article is conceived as a form of epistemic writing, or an interweaving of languages that allows children to express ideas, to represent their school and extrascolastic reality and to vary their way of observing and interpreting their existences. Due to the new circumstances, the project was adapted. However, it can be considered satisfactory, although the school was not yet ready to host types of remote training with the simultaneous presence of different classes. In this context, it was not easy to manage the process of involvement of the students. The atypical role of the teacher facilitator has led to an on time learning path, which has also provided for the creation of work groups with flexible activities, partly at school and partly at home.
