Blog como ferramenta de apoio ao ensino-aprendizagem da língua portuguesa para alunos do 5º ano

Abstract

Every day, teachers are being challenged to look for alternatives to make their lessons more attractive, as well as to draw the attention of their students. The new media technologies are highly important in this new teaching and learning scenario. In this context, it is up to each teacher to examine different technological resources to be applied on their school environments. This paper aims to use a technological tool called blog, to evaluate its effectiveness as a supporting tool to the teaching of the Portuguese language for fifth grade elementary school students. In this project, the use of this tool was exploited on the teaching of forms of using "whys". Results obtained from two groups of students using a why’s blog which was developed in this project, in constrast with a group in which this blog wasn’t exploited, show that the utilization of the blog can bring an improvement on the teaching-learning process. The use of the blog in the development of this work has also shown that students are more attracted to such different activities in their educational daily routines. In addition, students demonstrate greater enthusiasm and motivation when working with contents that are more connected to the technologies, such as blogs, they use in their personal life.
