Digital communication and school management in network encourage the integration of educational community members (families, teachers and students) in a more productive and beneficial way in the school system; such an aspect helps to improve society. This socializing feature of technology promotes a more open and collaborative educational community. Therefore, within the current Information Society and Knowledge, communities need institutional support based on interactive tools that operate in the digital communicative context. Parents must be constantly informed about their children’s progress and educational activities realized in schools, but at the same time, they must be engaged in the construction of school from a social perspective, which generates an endless interactive process between school and society. It was analyzed the opinion of the educational community about the use of a virtual institutional platform called “Papas” as a socializing and dynamic element of the school-environment relations in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain.
