During an unprecedented health crisis resulting from the contamination of SARS-CoV-2, education is also experiencing a crisis with students and teachers being deprived of classroom experience. The concern with the partial or total interruption of activities in schools and universities reaffirms once again the importance of education for the development of society. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the biology students' narratives for the new situation imposed in the perspective of making their voices visible, specifically regarding the technological mediation proposal. The study approach was qualitative and as a data collection instrument, a questionnaire was used, with open questions, in Google Forms. The data were analyzed in the light of Content Analysis, in which we arrived at the following categories, a) The virus of technological mediation; and b) Confined ..., so what? The reflections made here show that this subject will be recurring for a long time because it challenges our choices, our ways, and our knowledge. The physical distance and the difficulty of accepting the “new” learning model for students is a reflection of our fragility as humans and as a society in the development of inclusive policies regarding access to technology.
