Since a greater contact with the new media, especially amongst the youth who attend the 21st century basic education, is a characteristic of our society, using audiovisual resources in the classroom can be attractive to students. A pedagogical tool called Lousa Digital Interativa (LDI - Interactive Whiteboard) has thus been adopted by many public and private schools. However, its use is marked by the following contradiction: if, on the one hand, LDI is increasingly present in school environments, on the other, we lack knowledge on how teachers are appropriating this new technology and on what "strategies, tactics and knacks" they have developed to use this resource in the classroom. Therefore, this research aims at identifying how some teachers working in schools that have recently implemented LDIs in their classrooms are dealing with this new situation. The theoretical framework of this research draws on the ideas of Michel de Certeau. Methodology included interviewing teachers of public and private schools that have recently adopted the use of LDIs in their classrooms and applying a questionnaire to other teachers of the same education network. Our results show that, although their reality differs, the teachers of these different schools are faced with the same difficulties.
