Abstract

The objective of this paper is to describe the process of preparing teachers at schools that are receiving the educational laptops (also known as the US$100 laptops) as part of the Program One Laptop per Student (PROUCA), developed by the Ministry of Education. The article describes the structure of the training plan which is being implemented and, specifically, the training of teachers from three schools in the state of São Paulo. These teachers are gradually appropriating the laptop resources and as part of their training, are working with students using laptops in the classroom, in different school spaces and exploring different school curricula.
