Tecnologias digitais e atualidades: movimentos de aproximação da juventude na educação básica

Abstract

Digital technologies have been changing relationships between individuals and society in the past years. However, these technologies have not been significantly incorporated into school practices, creating an abyss between youth and school. In this context, the present work aims to present five didactic sequences produced during the Course “Digital Technologies and Education 3.0”, and thus reflect about their impact on the author's teaching practices and the relations between Digital Technologies, Education and Society. During the course, a great range of digital technologies, such as social networks, videos, games and animations were presented as Education tools. These tools were used to enhance teaching approaches and create five didactic sequences about the following topics: fake news, genetic, sexuality, general elections and atoms models. The topics were selected by their relevance to everyday life to reach a wider audience of students. It was noticed a need for changes in Education by adopting Digital Technologies and new approaches that allow students to became protagonists on their learning processes. Continuous teacher training and infrastructure investments are also required to promote these changes. As a conclusion, these approaches are expected to promote a greater approximation between youth and school and a more effective dialogue between Education ant the new subjectivities presented in contemporary life.
