This paper aims to characterize homeschooling in order to identify the contributions of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in home education in the development of dialogic skills in the education of students and parents who experience homeschooling. Field research was conducted through interviews from September to October 2019 to five families who practice homeschooling in the cities of Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The results showed that the interviewed families had, on average, 12.6 years of homeschooling practice; that individualized education, flexibility to advance and individualize learning are reasons for choosing home education; that dialog is widely practiced, occurring in all learning spaces; and that ICT, such as social networks, educational platforms, digital books and online classes have been used in homeschooling. The study allowed to conclude that dialog and ICT are instruments that expand the learning possibilities of homeschooler children and adolescents.
