This article aims to characterize elementary school teachers’ pedagogical conceptions and practices, and also understand the school position regarding the use of digital technologies in classrooms, at a time that “the movement towards personalization is already advanced in medicine and we need to move quickly towards this, also in the world of education” (ROBINSON, 2019). The empirical study fits into a qualitative approach, through the case study modality, assuming an interpretive paradigm. Data were collected through document analysis, observation and interview, then we’ve proceeded to content analysis, using triangulation. Participants are 6 elementary school teachers form a private school in Lisbon, Portugal. The results point out the existence of teachers’ willingness, confidence and skills, although the use of technologies by students, during classes, is not significant.
