Abstract
The recent years there has been observed an intense effort to integrate ICT in the educational process through the wider spread of the Internet and the complementary use of innovative technological applications in the modern school. The need for communication, promotion and exchange of ideas, materials and methods of teaching in education seems to play an important role in the creation and expansion of school websites. In this context, this paper aims to explore the communicative role of school websites of Primary Education of Achaia, by using the quantitative and qualitative research approach. The findings that came through show that the investigated school websites do not promote sufficiently distance communication between members of the school community and communication between school and wider society, but focus more on informing about school activities, giving less importance to education, entertainment and development of communication channels among their visitors.
