                 Abstract
                 Public policies relating to digital tend to oscillate between carefree techno-solutionism and
                 technophobic neo-Luddism. The result of these neurotic lurches in approach to policy, where
                 the educational community is lectured about the dangers of technology while at the same time
                 being thrust into the arms of large digital corporations, is that such corporations now control
                 and monitor the vast majority of educational establishments... and, with that, the behaviour of
                 students, teachers, and families. In fact, things can be different. We will look at a practical
                 example: our plan, drawn up with families, on the Privacy and Democratic Digitalisation of
                 Schools, recently accepted as a pilot by the City Council of Barcelona.
