PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: Introducing Padlet in the classroom (Atena Editora)

Abstract

This work is the result of a Pedagogical Practice using Digital Technologies proposed in the Discipline of Innovation and TDIC in Education, in the Professional Master's Course in Inclusive Education – PROFEI. The experience was carried out with two Elementary School classes, one in the 5th year and the other in the 6th year in the afternoon at Escola Estadual Paulo Freire in the city of Sinop/MT, where the researchers work as leading teachers. The objective of the activity was: to present Padlet to students as a digital tool that they could use to carry out different pedagogical or personal life activities and guide them in creating and configuring a Padlet. In the methodology, we introduced the topic in an expository way with instructions for students to record basic information in their notebooks and then we used Chromebook with internet access so that they could access the Tool, explore, learn about and interact with it. Create a wall and socialize with colleagues. Participation was very productive and students showed interest in the proposed activity. Students with special needs in the classes we worked in were able to carry out the activities in their own time and with the interventions that were necessary. Through this activity we can see that Digital Tools enable new ways of accessing information and learning in the classroom.
