Computers, mobile technologies, social networks, search tools and on-line interaction are resources used by students in the dynamic world of cyberculture. The information technologies and communication are demanding readers and writers even more involved. The printed texts add to the hypertexts and electronic media that require different strategies of reading and writing. Does the school can create spaces for the digital literacy practices of students? Teachers must learn to manage information technology and communication. Teaching with and for the critical use of technology is the school's primary role in the process of digital inclusion. Just using technologies without clear goals or plans is not enough. It is important transforming the relationship of subjects with technologies. This paper discusses the integration of technology in schools and presents contributions to rethink the pedagogical planning, considering many technological resources that teachers can use in the organization of learning situations that allow students to improve digital literacy practices.
