Abstract

The present study, which is characterized as a descriptive research with a qualitative approach, aimed to present an educational product, that is, a Blog, prepared by the researcher, to be used in a project of Scientific Initiation developed at the State College Attílio Codato, in the city Of Cambé / PR. The study presents the step by step of the construction of the Blog by the researcher and the use of this by the students of the educational institution, as well as the difficulties, challenges and successes occurred in this process. The Blog served as a tool / instrument to support the students of High School so that they could develop Scientific Initiation projects and, from these, produce texts about their work, with scientific language. To support this study, a bibliographic research was developed on: learning through projects; Concept of ICT and Blog; And the use of ICTs as methodological resources for learning. It was concluded that the results were quite satisfactory, because the students, despite the difficulties found, mainly due to the lack of reading habits and consequent difficulty in interpreting most of them, the majority concluded their project and presented it. In addition, there has been an almost general awareness of what readings and this type of research are essential to prepare them for higher education and for life. This fact is associated, mainly to the use of the Blog, a technological tool, an area that greatly arouses students' interest.
