Um computador por aluno: utopia ou realidade?

Abstract

This article is the result of a survey about the limits and possibilities of computer access and the development of technological fluency in students from state schools in urban and rural basic education. The purpose of the research, characterized as descriptive, the case study was to determine whether, indeed, the provision of one computer per student is actually possible and even if this initiative is fully feasible from the point of view of supply of all demands required to implement it. We searched two public schools, one urban and one rural municipality of Santana do Livramento- RS. The questionnaire was the survey instrument used to collect data and they indicate that schools are struggling to explore potential of computers because the available infrastructure is still insufficient.
