THE USE OF GEOTECHNOLOGY, AS A PROPOSAL FOR THE DISSEMINATION, INTERACTIVITY, AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PANTANAL BIOME, IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The search for an integrated school to an increasingly dynamic reality has been perhaps the greatest challenge faced by education professionals nowadays. In this context; technological innovations have played an important role to obtain more effective results in the process of understanding and possible spreading of knowledge. That demand has made possible in recent decades, the development of several work proposals using new technologies, such as Remote Sensing. In this sense, this work is characterized as a development of the project on Psychomotor activities and Animation Remote Sensing for the 5th and 6th grades of elementary school - the Case Study was carried out at the Municipal School Rondon (VIEIRA, 2011), in which foundations and Remote Sensing activities were combined with a playful and interactive approach. This new step aimed at identifying the major biomes of Brazil, with emphasis on the Pantanal. The use of computer animation was maintained with the same characters from previous work, at this stage, focusing on the interpretation of satellite images in the presentation and identification of the biome with its diversities and changes, covering the impacts generated by human activities. It is hoped that this work generates educational material that serves as support to educators in the use of new technologies for the study of this and other Brazilian environments
