Abstract

Youngsters today grow in an environment of technological development but, nevertheless, exhibit unknowns regarding aspects relating to the use of these tools in a productive way, as regards the aspects relating to safety and correct use. The integration of technology in schools has thus increased responsibilities by the need to incorporate these developments safely and at the service of education. At a time when the concept of use of technology is seen as a skill rather than a tool, the challenges faced by the school administration and teachers are great and they try to resolve through some of the available resources and new business developments. However, much remains to be studied and developed. This chapter aims to present some perspectives of this scenario. It also presents a study conducted in some schools, and some developments that are being considered in this area.
