Abstract

This article reports the experiences lived during the Supervised Internship II in the Computer Science Teaching Program at the State University of Amazonas. The main objective of the internship was to provide students with knowledge about concepts and functions of educational technology software to improve understanding and interaction in the teaching-learning process in the Digital Culture discipline. The research had a qualitative approach and was based on studies about supervised internships and the use of educational software. Activities were developed based on the problems observed during the observation period in high school classes, with the support of the internship supervisor. The research participants were first-year high school students. An action plan was developed to use the computer lab and apply activities in Microsoft PowerPoint, with the aim of presenting the tools and functionalities of the software. Students were challenged to develop their academic presentations in PowerPoint format and present them in class. The results obtained were generated and discussed with the professor in charge. The use of technology in schools opens up options for teaching digital educational technologies in any area of knowledge. The Supervised Internship II experience provided students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom in a practical way and improve their technological skills.
