Abstract: The crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic will change education forever. The premise from which we started is that, from now on the school will combine classical face-to-face learning with online learning, because it corresponds to the mind and way of thinking of the current generation of children who have grown up in constant contact with new technologies. However, conducting online lessons means preparing teachers to be able to cope with online activities and equipping schools and students with the necessary e-learning technologies. E-learning means not only "a continuity of learning" but also a "pedagogical continuity". Today's education must be different from the past one for the sole reason that, in "today's times", the only certainty is continuous change and young people will always be put in the situation of adapting on the fly in order to be "smart" with technology and not " useless people". The skills acquired will aim to make young people "think for themselves" critically and creatively. IT tools for online learning must be very friendly to students and very easy to us.

Keywords: Romanian management, educational management, e-learning, pedagogical continuity, new generation.
