Abstract

Education is important so that citizens can find possibilities to understand themselves and the world in which they live, and technologies help and work as tools for society to evolve, including in educational environments. In this way, the junction between the teaching-learning process and technological innovations go hand in hand to promote meaningful education. This does not mean that in all school spaces it is possible to carry out teaching practices based on the use of technologies, even because the transformations disseminated by globalization were not homogeneous.

In this sense, the present work aims to analyze the insertion of new teaching technologies in geography, in order to contextualize the historical moment of profusion of technological production, in addition to understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the insertion of new technologies in teaching, as well as to propose teaching perspectives in geography from the use of new technologies in the classroom.
