This paper aims to determine the relationship between the use of new technologies and the academic performance of primary school students in a rural context, as an exploratory case study. Its main purpose is to show how technology can influence the socialisation processes of young people. The data were gathered from a quantitative approach, using a 24-item questionnaire validated by experts. This instrument has been administered to 40 primary school students between 8 and 12 years old in a rural school in the south of Spain. The results show that there is no high relation between the use of mobile devices and academic performance in the core subjects in this study group. However, it can be said that new technologies help improve the relationship between equals, always under the supervision of family members.
