Tecnologia aplicada ao ensino da cartografia escolar

Abstract

This work highlights the importance and the use of digital technology, as a way of seeking to reduce one of the problems faced in Brazil and in Alagoas, which is school dropout in the classroom. GEOGRAPHY, as a social science, has an important role in building a formation based on cartographic literacy that can expand the naturesociety relationship. In addition to other recreational means, one of the pedagogical resources that can be presented to students is the use of technology, through smartphone applications, software and cartographic maps, which bring students, school and nature together. In this work, we will see the application of these resources in the teaching of Cartography and the results presented at the Municipal School José Calado Cavalcante, Cacimbinhas / AL, where the participation and performance of the students improved, showing that the teaching of Cartography also has a primary role in bringing and permanence of students in the school environment
