A Internet em sala de aula: uma possibilidade para a aprendizagem contemporânea

Abstract

The influence of the Internet in society and the consequences on people's lives is a fact. Several changes occurred after the setup of the global network of computers in various segments of human activity, including education. Internet is part of the social reality of many of our students. Every day it has involved more young people through their features and attractive tools. This monograph is intended to offer educators a reflection on how school practices can meet the needs of contemporary society in relation to Internet use as teaching aids, which can provide when properly used, a broad and contextual knowledge to the cognitive process of each student. This understanding may also be generated from the times of continuing education when educators have the opportunity to study, deepening knowledge, and weaving new practices where the Internet can be used in a meaningful way and to help meet the cognitive and social expectations of our students.
