Information and communication technologies in education: a challenge in teaching practice

Abstract

This article discusses the use of information and communication technologies in education and the knowledge teachers need in order to face these requirements. Initially, a reflection will be made on the insertion in schools of technological resources with educative purposes, and also on the reaction within the school environment, as well as on the influence of those resources on teaching practices. Afterwards, the data obtained by means of the application of a research instrument will be analyzed, aiming to investigate how the teachers of a federal public school located in Florianópolis/SC react to the challenge of using new technologies in their teaching practice.
