The first scenario will cover the state of Rio Grande do Sul and will have as participants Physical Education teachers who work in Elementary and High School, from the state and municipal schools. The second scenario, on the other hand, will comprise the Brazilian State and will have as participating subjects, Physical Education teachers who teach in Elementary and High School in the state education networks.

It is concluded with data that the classes were mostly theoretical/practical, bringing a procedural concept together with an attitudinal part of these contents, with a transposition of what happens in the face-to-face mode to remote teaching and thus the most used didactic resource in teaching remote, it was WhatsApp application. However, a difference can be highlighted between the levels of education, where in elementary school both in the first scenario and in the second the printed material was used with those students who did not have access to the internet, while for high school it was noticed the highlight of the use of the AVA in both.
