SUMMARY:

Over the years, we have observed that technology has become part of our daily lives and, exponentially, has dominated the world around us. There are countless benefits arising from technological resources, including the convenience in our daily lives and the optimization of time spent on different tasks. On the other hand, there are also some negative points such as the technological dependence caused to human beings by the excessive use of technology and the digital exclusion that still affects many Brazilians at this time. In the school environment, the students of this new generation were born inserted in this technological world, that is why they yearn, more and more, for the use of technology in the classroom space. Regarding this reality, the research sought to analyze how the use of technologies can help in the process of teaching and learning the contents of the Geography discipline, thus making the classes more participatory by students. Thus, seeking to demonstrate a practical example of how we can use technology in teaching Geography, the dissertation brings a case study, carried out at Colégio Estadual Professora Vilma Atanázio, located in Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro-RJ. For that, Google Earth and Kahoot applications were used, in a technological contextualized insertion from the students' reality, aiming at the realization of more dynamic and interactive classes, besides contributing to a possible improvement of the students' performance in the classes. In order to understand the students' point of view about the use of these technologies, two questionnaires were applied; one being about the Google Earth program and the other about the Kahoot application. Through the students' responses to the questionnaires, it was possible to observe that few students knew about these technologies and that they really enjoyed the experience of using these applications in class, as they contributed to a better understanding of the content taught at the time, Climate Zones of the Earth. Most students said they would like geography teachers should continue using these technologies during classes, as they encourage learning and give more clarity to the assimilation of the subjects covered. In addition, the dissertation also brings an analysis on the use of teaching platforms, specifically, the Google Classroom, which was adopted by the Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Rio de Janeiro in order to continue the school year. Seeking to verify how the platform was used by the students of the Colégio Estadual Professora Vilma Atanázio and for the geography teachers of Rede Estadual de Ensino do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, two forms were also applied, one for each group mentioned, where it was possible to verify the good and bad aspects related to it. Despite many problems reported by students and teachers during the use of the platform, such as problems with internet access and difficulties in learning and working remotely on physical geography contents such as geomorphology, cartography and climatology, most them enjoyed using the platform, reporting that it was a viable way to continue the school year, as well as considering the practicality of using the available tools to develop activities. Thus, the dissertation demonstrated how free software that is already on the market can boost student performance by making geography teaching more accessible and with an active participation of students in their learning process.
