Description
Summary:The article deals with teachers' appropriation of information and communication technologies. It aims to identify and describe the presence and use of these technologies and the time and space of everyday life permeated by them. The data consisted of graphic narratives in comic strips produced by the subjects and oral narratives in the form of episodic interviews. Twenty-three public school teachers from Brasília, Brazil, participated in the research. Among the various ICTs, the Internet was the one the teachers showed the most mastery of. The teachers indicated a disjuncture between the times of technological development and adoption, leading to a perception that technologies are advancing faster than our ability to adopt them. Excessive use of ICT was represented as a trend, suggesting the importance of pedagogical actions that provide moments for discussion and critical reflection on the implications of ICT in everyday life.
