Abstract
The Program Conectar Igualdad (Connecting Equality Program) began to be implemented in Argentina in 2010, with the objective of equipping with netbooks all students and teachers in public secondary schools, training them in the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and incorporating these new resources for teaching and learning processes. The article examines the carrying out of the Program in schools at the Villa Maria-Villa Nueva agglomerate, Cordoba Province, Argentina. We introduce some discussions about the arrival of such devices and its implications in terms of access, use and social appropriation. Then we focus on selected local cases to investigate achieved work experiences, its impact on educational practices, perceptions of teachers regarding technologies and difficulties that were visualized. The study is based in results from focus groups carried with teachers, conducted during 2013 as part of a collective research instance.
