PROINFO: A CRITICAL OF THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE TEACHING OF GEOGRAPHY

This text has like objective to value the process installation of ProInfo project and his contributions (or not) on Geography teaching. Therefore, to show the possibilities and limits that the technologies offers on the didactic-educational material produced for the this discipline, and to relate a new phase that appear the apprenticeship this discipline, associated with use of the new technologies. The text is developed based on a bibliographic research, in follow for a documental and reflexive study based on observations and data research about this project on the three public's of Mascote and Porto Seguro (Bahia). The ProInfo has many obstacles with absence of infrastructures, monitors for the professors qualification and use of computers with internet accessibility. The installation of computers labs don't occurred on the conditions like the project require. The important is the professors specializations for to put into practice with those technologies, because to dominate or simply to know informatics science is not enough. It is necessary to know the means for to put in perspective the didactic-educational point, and we observed that the professors investigated also don ' t know like to insert this question on his practice. When exist a new technology insertion on our practice, exist some significant alteration that need realizations on school framework. Alterations, principally, on the form to learn and to teach; also is an important principle, but not the only one, on the real investigation for a geography education, contextual and dynamic.
