ICT AND CHILDREN'S LITERATURE: CHALLENGES OF PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE IN THE DIGITAL AGE

This paper reflects upon the challenges while implementing information and communication technologies (ICT) in the pedagogical organization of literature teachers, in particular those of language and literature PhD students. Furthermore, we seek to reflect upon teacher's training, mainly concerning children's literature teaching. By taking such aspects into consideration, it has been proposed the support of two post-graduate students going through an oriented teaching experience (Docencia Orientada) in a Children's Literature course, in the context of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) pedagogy undergraduate degree, while using ICT for literature teaching and learning. In this context, it has been checked whether the resources they used helped achieve their goals and whether they aroused student's interest in the content, thus fostering learning. From the analysis of the reports, it became clear that learning how to apply and use ICT in the classroom is important.
