In 2020, the world was plagued by a pandemic that demanded the social isolation of people from all over the planet to prevent the rapid spread and overcrowding of hospitals. In the educational field, face-to-face classes have been suspended in more than 150 countries. Some institutions started to use technological resources to offer remote education. The pandemic highlighted issues such as the unpreparedness of education systems and teachers, inequalities in access to the internet and students' computers, among others. Considering that technologies have been part of the daily life of schools for more than 30 years, in this atypical moment there is a strangeness among teachers in their improvised use with their students. This article aims to reflect what this pandemic situation has taught us about online education in Brazil and the perspectives that we can see in this field in the post-pandemic scenario.
