Abstract

The present paper aims to analyze the importance of introducing a computational tool - Google Classrrom - on the teaching process of Portuguese Language in João Pedro Nunes High School, at São Gabriel / RS. The pros and cons of this technology's implementation in the development of activities related to the course have been analyzed, as well as the students' acceptance in this new way of acquiring knowledge about the Portuguese Language. By the end of this paper the features of the Google Classroom, which is a part of the G Suite for Education platform. The study was carried out, first, through an exploratory research aimed at providing greater familiarity with the features of the Google Classroom application, since this application is still little known, and not much explored by the teachers in public schools of the city. After getting to know the possible potentialities of the Google Classroom educational tool, a virtual classroom for the Portuguese Language course was created. The target audience was a 2nd grade class at the João Pedro Nunes High School, with 26 students between the ages of 15 and 18. At the moment the descriptive research was used, since the experience with the implementation of the application was reported: the acceptance or not by the students, possible difficulties in accessing the Internet, student / student interaction or teacher / student, etc. The results have shown that the greatest challenge of the teacher is to involve the students in the activities and that it is not enough to only implement the available technologies, it is necessary to carry out consistent pedagogical projects, with an objective and effective methodology.
