Abstract: This paper relates some results reached throughout two integrated projects (one extension project and a research) developed in 2017 by the research group of Multireference, education and language (GPMEL) from Campus of Distance Education at Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of RN (IFRN). These projects were developed in cooperation with two public schools in Natal and Parnamirim (RN): JoãoTibúrcio State School and Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes City School. Sancho [11] was the basis to the analysis of the teachers’ view about the school they work. In the extension project it was offered a on line course about technologies in the classroom, while in the research we investigated, using a questionnaire, how the same teachers use technologies in the classroom and the technological support they have to work in the schools.
