Abstract

: The basic concern of this study is to reflect on the use of Padlet for students' literacies in Portuguese Language classes, since it is unquestionable the insertion of students in the world of cyberculture. For the development of this theme, the following questions guided the work: How can the teacher improve the student's writing and reading in this context of cyberculture in which we live? and Can the use of Padlet contribute to student literacy in the Portuguese language discipline? This article aims to analyze the importance of the appropriation of new digital technologies by the teacher for a better quality in the process of building students' knowledge, seeking to motivate and involve them through virtual learning environments. A bibliographic research was used as a methodological resource considering the contributions of authors such as ALONSO, GALLEGO and HONEY (2002), GARDNER (1998), RELVAS (2018), LÉVY (1999) and SOARES (2004) among others, trying to emphasize the importance the teacher's knowledge of the student's knowledge-building process, as well as the need for him to assume his social role as mediator in the teaching-learning process through the conscious use of virtual learning environments, specifically the Padlet. We concluded the importance of having a mediating teacher, in this resource of the Padlet to guarantee the benefits of using it for the student's literacies.
