Aplicação web para assistir o professor no ensino de geografia com abrangência regional

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a great increase in the use of technologies, a factor that causes changes in the form of communication and access to information. Thus, the need arose to understand them, so that they can assist in different activities. Therefore, finding ways to integrate them into the teaching and learning process can be an interesting alternative. What ends up hampering this process is the small number of tools and software for some specific areas. Regarding the geography discipline, there are some softwares that provide the visualization of maps in digital format, but these generally present information at a global and national level, which often do not have more specific data and information from a region or locality, which could help the teacher to create analogies and examples of students’ prior knowledge. In addition, many of these are not collaborative or allow customization. In this work, a system, called InterativeGeo, was prototyped and developed, which have information and digital maps of the geographical context of Francisco Beltrão, allowing customization and collaborative development, providing the teacher with the availability of maps designed by him, thus enabling the system to become more and more complete, with several maps of different locations.
