A global survey conducted by Google in partnership with Ipsos revealed that Brazil is above the global average in the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI). According to the study, 54% of Brazilians claim to use this technology, reflecting how the country has advanced in integrating technological tools across various sectors, including education.
In the school environment, parents and educators face doubts about how to balance the use of these tools with other activities that foster development, such as hands-on practices. In this scenario, technology, when used properly, can be a powerful ally to expand access to information and enhance learning, especially in the context of “Digital Culture,” one of the ten essential competencies defined by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC).
With technology, students have access to a wide variety of educational resources quickly and conveniently. Digital platforms and the internet allow them to explore content that complements school learning, expanding knowledge beyond textbooks.
Moreover, the personalization of education is a major advancement enabled by technological tools. Adaptive platforms tailor content to individual needs, allowing students to learn at their own pace. Marco Giroto, founder of the SuperGeeks franchise network, emphasizes: “Life without technology no longer exists. The goal now is to use all of this in an increasingly assertive way. Everything is done with proper guidance and specific methodology.”
Technological resources make learning more dynamic and engaging, using educational games, interactive videos, and simulations. These tools not only spark students’ interest but also help develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.
Ítalo Pereira, technical-pedagogical coordinator at SuperGeeks, reinforces: “When students have access to quality technological resources, they not only learn the content but also skills that will be indispensable in the job market and in life.”
The franchise network is a practical example of how technology can democratize education. The school, a pioneer in teaching programming and robotics in Brazil, serves students of all ages and needs, offering accessible courses that include adaptations for people with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities.
“Technology is not just a tool but a facilitator of inclusion. Our goal is to ensure that anyone, regardless of their conditions, can explore the digital universe and develop fully,” adds Giroto.
As technology advances, its role in transforming education becomes increasingly evident. The strategic use of digital tools not only democratizes knowledge but also contributes to shaping a more equitable society prepared for the challenges of the future.
