## I. INTRODUCTION Digital technologies are increasingly present in our lives, both in work activities and in our personal and relational activities. They play a growing and increasingly important role in teaching and, in general in the proper functioning of the school. The use of digital technologies at school will be increasingly important and necessary. These technologies help teachers to make teaching more attractive, effective, and consistent with the expectations of new generations of students. It is essential that teachers need to use the latest digital resources to organize teaching flexibly, personalizing the training paths of each student even outside the traditional times and spaces of the school. The use of IT tools for teaching of technological- technical disciplines, and specifically in the IT discipline, is fundamental right from the first classes in which the topics most covered are precisely the basics of information technology, and the study and use of software of word processing, spreadsheets and multimedia presentations. For the teaching of programming and coding is essential to enable students to become digital programmers using computational thinking. For the disciplines related to information technology, it was certainly easy to assign tasks to be carried out, deliver project activities, questionnaires, and online checks, as well as self-study from textbooks and teaching materials provided by the teacher, because these are activities carried out even in non- emergency periods. ## II. DIGITAL INNOVATION IN DISCIPLINES ## RELATED TO INFORMATION ## TECHNOLOGIES The use of digital technologies at school, if used correctly within learning processes, is a formidable resource for teachers. It will be increasingly important and necessary to use them to avoid losing contact with the new generations of students because they help teachers to create a more attractive, practical and coherent teaching. Information and communication technologies at school become learning tools aimed at developing skills. If combined with laboratory-type teaching approaches and, or cooperative learning strategies, they contribute to activating forms of learning. The use of innovative tools in the disciplines of the IT sector is essential. Teaching programming and coding is very important in enabling students to become digital programmers using computational thinking. IT teachers produce educational material in an innovative form and possibly use virtual classrooms to better understand the functions of the various software used in IT disciplines. These methodologies have been used above all in this historical moment of emergency which has forced the world of school to transform itself to allow students to continue to use the school service even if in distance learning mode, be it synchronous or asynchronous. The main specific programming software used by IT teachers are as follows: IDLE Python GUI, Geany, Notepad++, XAMPP, NetBeans, Eclipse, and DevC++ linked to the programming languages addressed: C++, Python, Java, PHP, and mySQL. Other specific software used for teaching are: phpMyAdmin for the study of databases and PHP, CISCO Packet Tracer for Computer network emulation, DevC++ for developing applications in C and C++ and Eclipse for applicationsin Java. Some of these tools and tools used will be shown below. The first applications presented are those used by all teachers of the school, namely those of the Google Suite for Education package and specifically here are the screens of Google Drive, Documents, Forms (Figure 1 - Google Classroom screens), and Google Classroom (Figure 2 - Google Drive, Docs, Forms).  Figure 1: Google Classroom screenshots  Figure 2: Google Drive, Google Documents, and Google Forms screenshots At this point, it is possible to show specific software used for teaching, starting from phpMyAdmin for studying databases and PHP (Figure 3 - phpMy Admin and PHP execution), CISCO Packet Tracer for computer network emulation (Figure 4 - CISCO Packet Tracer environment), DevC++ for the development of C, and C++ applications (Figure 5 - DevC++ environment) and Eclipse for Java applications (Figure 6 - Eclipse development environment).   Figure 3: phpMyAdmin and PHP execution Figure 4: CISCO Packet Tracer environment  Figure 5: DevC++ environment  Figure 6: Eclipse development environment The use of IT tools in the teaching of technical disciplines is fundamental and to better understand the functions of the various software, there is often the need to produce educational material in an innovative form and possibly use virtual classes, sharing films, documentaries, and handouts, or other material.
