Resumo (EN)
This study, which is part of my dissertation, and
focuses primarily on the use of digital storytelling
in language teaching in a public school, investigated
a group of elementary education students at
a public school in the metropolitan area of Belo
Horizonte-MG, and tried to understand the perceptions
that these students have of the learning
opportunities offered by these new technologies.
In order to accomplish this, a case study was designed
in which the participants produced comic stories
both in the analog and digital formats. A final
interview was conducted, in search of participants’
perceptions on these productions. The results
showed that, through the production of these activities
in two different formats, the analog and the
digital, participants were able to perceive various
types of literacies necessary for these productions.
These results demonstrate that an increase of the
use of new technologies in schools would provide
the students opportunities to the use of new literacies
in the learning process by students, thus providing
an opening of horizons and allowing for the
education of more capable and conscious citizens.
