Abstract

One of the factors that has promoted distance education since the middle of the last century is precisely technological advances. That is why systematization, accreditation, didactic supports, curriculums, discussion forums, blogs, etc., will make the home education a growing phenomenon at international and national level, pushing families to reconsider the proposals of compulsory classroom attendance according to Exeni (2013).

A qualitative study is proposed to identify children educated at home in Mexico through Educational Platforms; In addition to the pedagogical implications and form of certification by which children educated under this modality obtain official recognition of basic level academic performance.

Therefore, this partial research also deals with the aforementioned educational processes, aspects about the socialization of children in virtual environments, theoretical aspects that are little studied in Mexico and that places this research as a topic of educational innovation that allows analyse this model of distance education in children who study Basic Education.
