The emergency induced by COVID-19 pandemic posed the greatest challenge that any national education system has ever faced, and this issue was widely discussed on all media sources as well as on social media platforms. In this paper, we aim at analysing the discourse on online teaching developed by Italian tweet- ers during the past school year, creating a digital storytelling. Employing thematic analysis, an approach used in bibliometrics to highlight the conceptual structure of a research domain, different time slices have been described, bringing out the most discussed topics. The mapping of these topics allowed obtaining an easily readable discourse representation, paving the way for a novel use of thematic analysis in social sciences.

Abstract
The emergency induced by COVID-19 pandemic posed the greatest challenge that any national education system has ever faced, and this issue was widely discussed on all media sources as well as on social media platforms. In this paper, we aim at analysing the discourse on online teaching developed by Italian tweet- ers during the past school year, creating a digital storytelling. Employing thematic analysis, an approach used in bibliometrics to highlight the conceptual structure of a research domain, different time slices have been described, bringing out the most discussed topics. The mapping of these topics allowed obtaining an easily readable discourse representation, paving the way for a novel use of thematic analysis in social sciences.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
