This article discusses an activity involving video technology as a tool to mediate the intergenerational interaction between students of a primary school and a group of adults and elderly people with aphasia (language disorders resulting from a brain injury). The intention to promote interaction between groups arose from the work contexts of the author of this research in an attempt to explore these contexts in the light of information and communication technologies applied to education. In the first moment, a conversation was elaborated with involved them and, with their acceptance for us to participate in the interaction activity with different generations the one of them, the recordings of videos began for such purpose. The topics that the subjects approached were about daily life, daily problems and life before and after the stroke. Data analysis was performed through the qualitative bias. As a result, it was found that the use of video as an educational technology resource produced interaction between different generations. In addition, the activity served as an adjunct in the formation of attitude, character and citizenship of the young people involved. It is concluded that the intergenerational interaction made through the video may be a possibility to integrate technological resources to the educational practice, as well as to work in classroom themes that cross the walls of the school, as the senior citizen – elderly individual and stroke.
