The present report analyses the implementation of an educational computerised laboratory process in public schools in the Southwest region of Rio Grande do Sul State. This project consists of a study case that uses qualitative methodology based on data collecting and reading. Semi-structured interviews have been done with 27 teachers from board of elementary education who work in the three different daily shifts as well as with three coordinators of the school computerised environment. The selection of candidates has been made at random. As a result we have a non-participate implementation process not connected to the school offer, directed to the pupils. Categorising the mishaps that have occurred during the corresponding process: the way the implementation process was carried out, the people understanding on the computerised educational process and the respective area of knowledge. The difficulties of the implementation process of the computerised system environment are also mentioned. In this discussion, the results of the communication and information technologies are properly analyzed as they affect the teaching and learning process.
