Abstract

The pandemic of the new COVID-19 coronavirus appeared at an unsuspected time and affected society in such a way that it changed a lot in education, in everyday life and in the lives of people around the world. The suspension of the operation of all educational units was one of the many necessary measures to e nsure the health of all those involved. The use of new technologies has given teachers of all levels the tools to continue teaching introducing new distance learning technics. The critical situation, created by the pandemic, set the goals of Education in a new definition by transforming the educational system into a new one in order to seize the opportunity by the new technologies and to use them in such a way as to maximize the possibility of continuing learning above all obstacles brought by the suspension of students' attendance in educational institutions. Although the services of the Ministry of Education made efforts to respond effectively to the new critical situation in order to integrate the new technologies in the Educational process smoothly, many major obstacles had to be overcome immediately and quickly. Eventhough teachers made a great effort to meet the new needs of their students, they had to look for ways to be able to understand the new digital environment in which they had to act. Similarly, principals had to work to create a climate of opportunity in which teachers would be able to cope with the crisis and meet the new challenge. This paper first describes the crisis situation created by the pandemic and the time period of suspension of school units as it developed through two different periods. It records the needs that led to distance education, the opportunities given to teachers to use digital tools to be able to work remotely and the obstacles that had to be confronted and overcome both institutionally and at the level of school organizations. This paper researches the views of primary school teachers about the new role they took on due to the newly-formed conditions mainly in relation to the use of digital tools, and also, about the new leadership role of their principals in relation to the digitization of the classrooms of the school organization.
