Abstract

The availability of technological support in public schools is a reality today, and a great unknown. The present article analyzes the negative and positive impacts of the insertion of informatics and the internet in the pedagogical practice of elementary school teachers in the municipal network of Manoel Emídio-PI. Specifically, we sought to recognize computer science as an ally of the teacher's pedagogical practice; to highlight the difficulties encountered by teachers in the use of the technologies and to contribute to the discussions about the effective use of the computer labs of the public schools. For that, it was chosen to carry out a theoretical survey supported mainly in the studies of Valente (2010); and a field research, through the application of questionnaires formulated with open and closed questions, involving the following subjects: 10 teachers from 4 municipal schools; In general, the results showed that teachers always seek to keep up with the pace of updating technologies, although in a timid manner appropriating the knowledge they have about them to diversify their plans and their classes and that informatics in education has a positive impact teaching learning since it is used in a coherent way and in keeping with the reality and needs that schools and their agents are inserted. Taking into account the potentialities of each of the involved, computer science is a valuable educational support and contributes significantly to the process of teaching learning.
