Smartphone as the foundation of active methodologies in teaching and learning geography

Abstract

New technologies have definitely broken down the forms, habits and customs of how we live, which is certainly a path of no return. Although it seems simple, at first glance, following this path requires reflection by everyone, as it demands new ethical and moral questions, which we were not used to, especially in the educational field. Thus, it aims to survey free applications available in virtual stores (Aplle Store and Play Store) and websites, as well as assess how they are able to assist and what barriers they can offer in the process of teaching and learning Geography. Students can benefit from these resources made available, with regard to their academic production and performing collaborative activities with colleagues and teachers, these students benefit from the technologies that are offered in a series of resources, which, if integrated with the pedagogical processes, help and approach the schools of technological reality, in which today's society is inserted. Thus, we observe that the internet is one of the limiting facts in the use of these new technologies, as well as, the size of the applications made available, the excess of advertisements in the applications, in addition to the limitations of their functions in free versions.
