Abstract

In the last twenty years, technology has been gaining more and more space in people's daily lives, contemporaneity is marked by electronic devices of all kinds and with the most diverse functions. In addition to transforming our notion of time, relationships and even worldview, technology has also impacted school practices. The fact is that the school has not been transformed at the same speed as our lives, filled with applications, devices, the internet and now they are looking for ways to insert them without losing their fundamental role: to educate. Because the media have taken such space in our lives, so quickly, many teachers who are active, find it difficult to insert them into their school routine: sometimes because of discomfort and ignorance of how to use them, sometimes for not having had the necessary basic training, and sometimes to think them unnecessary to the teaching practice. This work, therefore, aims to bring the discussion to the surface, realizing the nuances and the problem of innovation in the classroom, opening space for a tool and teaching techniques applicable to it: PowToon, a free and optional tool paid, which allows the creation of presentations by means of animation. Thus, through the theme of Financial Education, the objective of this work is to present the debate to the teaching public, and to introduce possible teaching techniques to be inserted in the classroom with the tool, be it for teachers experienced with technology, or for those who prefer to mediate.
