<p>This work presents ‘Dove sta di casa la scuola’, an online course for teachers promoted by the Small School Movement during the Covid-19 emergency. The course aimed to provide alternatives to lecture-based distance learning using the domestic environment as a context for ‘low-intensity’ digital learning. Such an experience, involving 7000 Italian teachers, allowed the school system to intervene on those pupils at risk of exclusion from distance learning for reasons related to digital divide conditions.
