The use of technology in teaching has grown significantly in recent years. Digital media and educational software are commonly used to complement traditional teaching methods. Online learning platforms such as Moodle and Blackboard are also widely used to provide students with access to course materials, assignments and other resources. Additionally, virtual and augmented reality technologies are being used to create immersive learning experiences across subjects such as science, history and geography. Technology has become an essential tool in teaching, providing numerous advantages, from greater engagement, access to resources and personalized learning. However, there are also challenges and limitations that need to be addressed, such as infrastructure and resource limitations, teacher training and possible distractions. As such, striking a balance between the use of technology and traditional teaching methods is essential to provide students with a complete and effective learning experience. The use of digital devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones has become increasingly popular in the classroom. These devices can be used to access educational resources such as e-books and online libraries, allowing students to learn at their own pace and style. Additionally, educational software and apps can be used to provide interactive learning experiences that cater to different learning styles. In addition, multimedia resources such as videos, images and audio recordings can also be used to engage students and enhance their learning experiences. From this perspective, it is necessary for school management to encourage teachers to update themselves in handling digital technologies in the classroom.

Objective: Diagnose the perception of education professionals, members of an education research group, about the initial training of teachers for the development of environmental practices in basic education. Method: This study is qualitative and descriptive in nature and constitutes a field research; having as a data collection instrument the use of a semi-structured questionnaire, containing 10 closed questions, guaranteeing the ethical anonymity of the responding subjects (15 responding teachers). In view of this, qualitative analysis was adopted as a method of scientific articulation between data and foundations of scientific-academic literature. Results and conclusion: The results point to the value of guiding environmental practices in the initial training of teachers, since this is a contemporary cross-sectional theme, subject to a plurality of interdisciplinary knowledge to be worked on in the school context, which provides opportunities for the link between different educators and areas of knowledge, elucidating the appreciation of the environment. Research implications: In this perspective, the respondents consider the value of including the environmental theme in the initial training of teachers, contributing to the rise of environmental education in basic education.
This work provides an opportunity to reflect on the process of inclusion and accessibility of visually impaired students in Basic Education. That said, a bibliographical research was carried out in the scientific and academic literature, through several databases, outlining theoretical and methodological contributions of the literature towards inclusive education. The results obtained from the study allow us to infer that the inclusion of visually impaired children in Basic Education with regard to regular school is still a subject little explored in the literature. as well as, it needs new discussions so that the theme can be developed, providing new perspectives on the adaptation and accessibility of these children. Furthermore, the study points out that students' cognitive and motor development are improved as the teaching and learning process is articulated with a multidisciplinary and multidimensional team.
In cases of severe injuries or burns, skin grafts (scaffolds) are often required as skin substitutes. In order not to harm the patient or the donor, biodegradable and biocompatible materials are used, which validates the search for heterografts such as poly (L-lactic acid)—PLA. However, natural polymers applied to the skin suffer great degradation in environments with large amounts of carbon and water or via binders with considerable resistivity, which implies little durability due to their low ductility. For the proposal, this work investigates PLA-based scaffolds modified with a mixture of pseudoboehmite (PB) and graphene oxide (GO), produced via the sol–gel route. The nanomaterials are incorporated into the polymer at different loadings, seeking to improve mechanical and thermal properties. Analyses via SEM, EDS, and XRD confirm the presence and distribution of these fillers. Tensile and flexural tests indicate that adding the filler can increase stress resistance, prevent deformations before failure, and increase toughness when compared to pure PLA.

Reality shows possuem grande alcance no Brasil, sendo capazes de promover retornos financeiros significativos e gerar uma expressiva audiência de telespectadores. Como consequência do alcance massificado do programa, as personalidades que nele competem têm sua imagem exposta ao público brasileiro de uma maneira desmedida. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho é estudar como os reality shows podem favorecer o fortalecimento da imagem pessoal dos participantes por meio de Marketing Digital a fim de que os integrantes tornam-se marcas de valor para os negócios. Propõe-se, assim, analisar estudos de caso para identificar a estratégia utilizada nas redes sociais, a reação do público em relação ao posicionamento do participante e a quantificação dos ganhos em termos de seguidores e parcerias. Como aprendizado, foi constatado que a imagem pessoal dos participantes é favorecida ao passo que as mídias sociais são utilizadas estrategicamente, construindo uma forte relação com uma rede de apoiadores e reforçando a identidade sólida do participante durante e após a permanência no reality show. Quando bem utilizado, o Marketing Digital pode criar um público fiel ao participante e, assim, transformá-lo em uma marca de valor para os negócios.
