The research methodology adopted was the bibliographic research. This research was carried out on the Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), and keywords were used. The specific objectives of this research were to verify whether teachers’ perceptions regarding the use of technology are positive or negative and also to report the main teachers’ uses of technology in the classroom. All the goals were achieved. The analysis of the studies showed that the negative points are related to teacher education, school infrastructure, lack of time to prepare classes, maintenance of technological equipment and inappropriate spaces. The positive aspects of the use of technology in the educational environment are related to the possibility of developing research skills and abilities, making learning more enjoyable and innovative. The technological resources used, even though by a minority of teachers, are the Datashow, videos, the computer, the cell phone and the internet. Teachers do not feel prepared to keep pace with technology and to pedagogically use all the resources that technology can offer. The challenges pointed out by them in the research that need to be overcome só that the use of technology in the educational environment occurs are: teacher education; school infrastructure; installations and maintenance of equipment; changes in curricula and projects that value the use of technology in the context in which teachers are inserted. From this survey it is possible to notice that there is the need for more studies on the subject, especially in the modality of elementary education. The research seeks to contribute to a critical reflection on the reality of pedagogical practices in relation to technological resources, besides collaborating só that new studies can arise on the subject, helping the teaching and learning process.
