Abstract

In this research, still in progress, explores the implications resulting from the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by high school students and relationship with school performance. The intention is to know and recognize from the student’s perspective on how to face their use of ICT in their own school performance. We start with the approach of Castells (2000) considering that the communicational paradigm little remains safe in the network society so consider the educational field, investigate it and thus analyze a specific situation will give the possibility to analyze and reflect on the role that students and society must take to this dynamic. The study is conducted under a mixed approach, but only the quantitative part is recovered in this text. It was carried out from a questionnaire administered to 103 high school students intending to determine the level of use and access of each student and from it to analyze whether there is a connection of this with their school performance.
