Na primeira parte do estudo, componente teórica, começámos por abordar a relação entre a Sociedade da Informação e a Escola, seguiu-se uma descrição da tecnologia educativa nas suas múltiplas dimensões e encerramos a parte teórica com uma breve análise à integração das TIC no currículo do 1º ciclo.
Na componente empírica foi desenvolvido um plano de intervenção junto do agrupamento de escolas e elaborado um questionário final, com o qual pretendemos averiguar, o nível de integração que os professores fazem dos computadores Magalhães nas suas práticas lectivas.
A análise dos dados permitiu-nos concluir que a maioria dos professores, utiliza e valoriza o computador Magalhães na sua prática lectiva, adequou as suas práticas à integração do mesmo e reconhece nos seus alunos um efeito potenciador das aprendizagens favorecendo a melhoria dos resultados escolares.
Os principais constrangimentos apontados pelos professores são a falta do acesso sem fios à internet nas suas salas de aula e a falta de apoio técnico para superar as anomalias verificadas no funcionamento dos Magalhães.
