Utilização das tecnologias da informação e comunicação como ferramentas para melhoria do aprendizado nas aulas de biologia

Abstract

Currently, we find in the school an increase in the access to the mobile devices by the students, in this sense a scenario is created that favors the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). One of these ICT's is the blog, which is a flexible tool that has no limits of use. The blog lets you share experiences, ideas, new practices, reconstruct meanings to content, insert comments. This work aims to promote the use of the blog as a pedagogical resource for the dissemination of content and information in school, as an instigating tool of the concepts of biology. YouTube also emerges as a resource that can contribute in the educational process to enable new practices in which students and teachers become co-authors in the construction of knowledge. For diagnosis and characterization of this scenario we opted for the collection of quantitative data. In this way the work is justified because the use of technology in the classroom is something inevitable and the blog and YouTube are excellent materials in order to diversify and enable new learning experiences for students. The analysis of the collected data points to a favorable posture of the students in front of the use of the Blog than of the YouTube channel. In one year, the blog had more than 130,000 hits, YouTube has reached about 9,000 views.
