Descriptive study with data collected through the use of the Google Forms sent to teachers via e-mail, with open and closed questions. For data analysis, content analysis was used, from which it was possible to obtain four categories of analysis related to the relevance of ICT, conception about the learning objects that can be used in classes, interlocution between the use of ICTs and interdisciplinarity and teacher training to use them. Such results showed that teachers are familiar with ICTs, develop contextualizing teaching, despite not having been trained for this in undergraduate or continuing education, and with this they invest in self-learning.
