COMPUTING IN K-12: POSSIBLE EXPERIENCES AND REFLECTIONS BY POR DENTRO DO COMPUTADOR PROJECT

ABSTRACT

This article presents an initiative for working with digital technologies aimed at children and adolescents. Actions, courses, and interventions carried out by teachers and students in the university extension project Por Dentro do Computador are described. The challenge of organizing the teaching for this audience allowed us to recognize the need for new studies about the specificity of the learning and development processes of students at this level of schooling, so that we can advance in the pedagogical practice with digital technologies in K-12.
