Much has been thought through about how to make the teaching and learning of scientific content more significant in order to collaborate with education. In this sense, it is up to the teacher to know aspects of human behavior to mediate and facilitate the interpretation of incoming information to students so that this information is transformed into knowledge. Therefore, the educator has seen its role as a transmitter of information turning into a facilitator of the transformation of this information into knowledge, a process that depends on both the teacher and the student. Thus, this work presents some aspects related to the teaching and learning of mathematics, highlighting the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as mediating and helpful tools of learning. It also presents a virtual learning environment, Moodle, which comprehends Geogebra software, presented in a WebQuest so that together they may be used in the future for the teaching and learning of mathematics in OurinhosFatec Technology College, São Paulo - Brazil. It is expected, by means of this work, to contribute to discussions and reflections on some emblematic issues of this new practice and mode, as well as disseminate and encourage the use of Geogebra application

Children who have intellectual disability plenty of times are deprived from the same opportunities of those who don`t. Concerning sports, these opportunities are still just a few, and in many cases, scarce. In order to make the children learn a sport and use the benefits that it provides, the teacher needs to use teaching strategies and pedagogical resources that give support to the teaching process - learning of the children who have intellectual deficiencies. Having these ideas as the starting point, the project pursued to construct/adapt teaching strategies and pedagogical resources to teach badminton to children with intellectual disabilities. Once week-classes with duration of 50 minutes each (all of them having intellectual deficiency diagnosis) have been applied at APAE in Presidente Prudente. Badminton has been developed through the division of its fundaments. Relating to the ability of holding the racquets, it has been observed that 71,4% of the students need an adaptation concerning the pedagogical resources.

Considering the difficulties and limitations that Down’s Syndrome individuals have and taking into account historic-cultural theory’s contributions to understand the voluntary memory as fundamental to human development, it has been investigated the role played by dance, as a body language that allows the symbolic expressions on the memory’s building and development in Down’s Syndrome individuals. Therefore, a single group with three Down individuals was formed, aged between 9 and 12 years old, regularly enrolled in a APAE. It has been held 20 intervention meetings in order to identify and analyze, if there were changes in the subjects’s actions, from their movements, body and oral expressions throughout the intervention process. Thinking about the whole process of conducting this research, we’ve noticed that one of the consistent findings we’ve got is that, when we point out the subjects’s biological difficulties and we’ve agreed on them, we could, despite of the contradictions imposed by the social and educational reality, say that subject’s biological laws can be overcome from the social relations that one establishes in the course of his life, since the Down’s Syndrome subjects own the capacity to develop their psychic ability, even if slowly, and therefore, proceed from the interventions allowed by the physical education teacher, to propose the dance as an educational activity.

One tool that has been in evidence, especially among young people, is Facebook. It can be classified as a synchronous communication tool that allows communities of people with similar interests to discuss and exchange experiences in real time, promoting the sharing of information and the creation of collective knowledge, even if they being in different parts of the globe. In this paper we show that Facebook can be used as an educational tool to aid the work done in the classroom and the impact of creating closed groups in online social networking for educational purposes. The survey was conducted with a group of students at a private school in Bauru/SP. We investigated the interaction profile of students with a closed group created on Facebook and through a questionnaire analyzed whether students use virtual environments for personal or educational. The survey reveals students perceptions about relevant aspects and the potential use of this tool as teaching-learning strategy
