As mídias como suporte do desenvolvimento escolar

Abstract

The technologies are increasingly growing within the school, but it is necessary for the teacher to plan and execute educational activities that explore these technologies creatively. From this motivation, we developed an activity in an elementary school in which digital tools were utilized with the goal of encouraging students to get to know the neighborhood where the school is located. This article aims to describe the development and present the results of a project carried out in a class of fourth year of Municipal Elementary School Dinah Néri Pereira, located in Noêmia, largest neighborhood in the city of Cachoeira do Sul (RS). Three tours were conducted across the neighborhood, so that students could search for information and collect relevant data on the history and daily life of the neighborhood. Various technological resources were used for this task: the digital camera to visually record data, the internet to research, the phone for recording interviews and the computer for processing the collected data. Thus, learning happened collectively among students, since they had freedom and autonomy to carry out the activity.
