DIGITAL TOOLS AND THEIR PEDAGOGICAL APPLICATIONS

Abstract

This study addressed the integration of technologies in the classroom, guided by appropriate technological and pedagogical principles, as a way of responding to the demands of 21st century education. The central problem investigated was the difficulty faced by educators in using the technologies available in the school environment. The general objective was to analyze the technological and pedagogical principles that guide this integration, highlighting its relationship with digital culture. During development, the concepts of interactivity, multimodality and accessibility were explored, in addition to pedagogical practices such as formative assessment and collaborative learning. Final considerations indicated that technological integration, when well guided, promotes inclusive teaching, providing personalized learning. Furthermore, the importance of continuing teacher training and the adaptation of technological infrastructure in schools to ensure the effectiveness of these practices was highlighted. It was concluded that, although this study has provided important support for the modernization of pedagogical practices, other studies are necessary to evaluate the long-term impact of technologies on student learning. This research was conducted through a bibliographical review, analyzing relevant works on the topic.
