Abstract
The present work, which has a qualitative approach, presents as primary aim is to debate Paulo Freire's current thoughts regarding digital technologies and their potentialities concerning educational practices. Fort this purpose, our specific objectives are the following: (1) to present a literature review regarding the concepts of “technology” and “technological praxis” in (and from) Freire's work; (2) to debate the concepts of "Digital Literacies" and "Critical Literacies", which make up the theoretical framework of this study; and (3) to present and analyze, in a qualitative slant, practical examples of activities and digital resources available on the Web and produced in the perspective of the Critical Literacies. The results indicate that critical teaching materials available online not only keep the Freirean legacy as a current topic, but they may also contribute significantly to a progressive-liberating education in the present.
