Due to our deep analysis, this work is structured in three parts. In the first one, three pillars are highlighted - citizenship, learning and digital inclusion - aiming a revision of neoliberal postures that have been crystallized in the school activities in the sphere of relations between the global and the local. In the second one, we call attention to the profile of the school protagonists. We do it, firstly, in the light of the analysis of the social formation of the student. Secondly, we take into consideration the new curriculum scenarios arising from the virtual world, with emphasis on the possibilities of the digital technologies. And, thirdly, we aim to deeply analyze theory on educational practices and pedagogical requirements of the emerging universe created and recreated by digital technologies in Basic Education
