The use of computational tools to support the process
teaching-learning has motivated several investigations and
research project. The insertion of information technology in Education is
also seen as a contributing element in the construction of a
school focused on reality and promoting human autonomy.
Faced with this new educational paradigm, schools should provide
the student the efficiency in the construction of knowledge, converting the
classroom in a real space of interaction, of exchange of results, adapting
the data to the reality of the student. The computer must be inserted into the
classroom as a potentializing tool for this development,
since this new educational tool, brought a new
form of aid in children's learning. Thus
we emphasize the importance of using educational tools in the
teaching and learning process, either through software

information technology, by teachers and students, a survey was carried out
educational software (proprietary and free) existing in the
public and private primary and secondary schools in the
municipality of Itacoatiara, in order to carry out a study
demonstration of the application of these resources. Through a
questionnaire, applied to those responsible for the school, it was observed that
33% of schools have a laboratory, but that no teacher
uses educational tools to assist in the teaching-learning process of its students. In addition, it was found that the
internet is available in 67% of the laboratories, and that in three of them,
the community has access to computers, at times pre-established by the school management. In order to mitigate this

educational activities, together with an evaluation of them with regard to
respect to functional and curricular aspects, in order to contribute
with improving teaching.
