Digital communication and management of the school through networks makes educational communities (families, teachers and students) to be integrated in a more productive and beneficial way at the school. To this end, in this current Information Society, the school communities need institutional support based on interactive tools that are operative in this digital context. Parents should be informed and participate constantly about the progress of their children but also they must be involved in the knowledge of tasks, exercises and activities that are performed in the classroom and school. These aspects: school organization, digital communication among all members of school communities, educational programming, along with teaching functions can be significantly improved with the use of institutional interactive networks that include communicative functions and school management in a virtualized way. The new forms of school organization are betting on the introduction of corporate management networks to enable and enhance virtualized school organization and teaching functions. The functions that mainly enhance are: functions related to communication process of teaching programming, e-learning to support the face to face sesions and communication among teachers, students and families electronically. Social computing represents a new research frontier for information systems. For example, it is transforming various aspects of software development: the development process is becoming participatory and often voluntary; the type of tools used is changing, and computing is moving to a more network-centric, and less of a desktop-bound stage. It transforms the way individuals process and interact with information, rendering a much more dynamic and mobile information domain centered on individual participants who interact with it through a wide variety of devices. The need for organisations to learn and to innovate rapidly is a consistent theme in approaches to novel organisational forms (Fulk & DeSanctis, 1995). It seems that hierarchies are being replaced by communication and influence relationships (Reich, 1991), resulting in more flexible organisational forms that rely on peer-to-peer collaboration in achieving their objectives. We develop a research in which we analyze the assessment by different sectors of the educational community of the functionality of these new management tools and virtualized communication in improving educational quality and relationships in schools.
