AB The unexpected COVID-19 outbreak in the middle of the school year 2019-2020 andthe subsequent declaration of the state of emergency by the Spanish government brought abouta dramatic change in classroom structure along with digital innovation at all levels worldwide.Traditional classes inevitably needed to be shifted to an unprecedented as well as unexpectednon-face-to-face model that both teachers and students had to use without prior training andwhich, consequently, required great effort and dedication. This article describes a case studyof this adaptation process as it actually ensued in an eminently practical subject. On theother hand, it also examines the students’ perception based on an assessment survey on themethodology and activities implemented along the course. The results show the right and wrongchoices made in the process, the students’ opinion about them together with potential solutionsto correct the bad practices identified in the study. Finally, this article shows the extraordinaryevolution of the use of new technologies in education as unforeseen one year ago.
