Abstract

The language - sign system (verbal and nonverbal) - was constituted as a means of social interaction. In the position of teachers and researchers of Education, we understand the Portuguese language teaching as a innovative teaching practices, in which the student is an active social person, is constituted by interacting with each other. The integration of network technologies in this context of innovation, is an action planned in public policy for the Portuguese language teaching in basic education. In this direction, we develop action research with students from 4th year of elementary municipal public school, where we planned textual production practices – tale gender - by integrating network. technology called Blog. The result, from the cycles of action research, analyzed based on the collaborative interaction category allows to conclude that the integration of the Blog is a proposal for innovation in teaching practices - effective and meaningful - in Portuguese language. Therefore, we argue that the textual production can enhance the interaction through a specific communication situation: the production of short stories and sharing it through the Blog.
