Abstract

The teaching of Geography is expressed through various technological languages, such as spatial languages, presented by Remote Sensing and Cartography, which are part of people's daily lives, playing a significant role in locating and orienting citizens in geographical space. The general aim of this work was to create a roadmap of practical activities for teachers to use in basic geography teaching with the help of geotechnologies, developed through a series of practical workshops, carried out with teachers and students from elementary school, in the final years. The work was carried out through workshops and questionnaires for teachers and students from public and private schools in the city of Feira de Santana - Bahia. The results of the research with the teachers showed that the use of geotechnologies is important for teaching and is necessary in schools, especially in basic education, since it contributes significantly to the process of teaching and learning geography, since 100% of the teachers and students surveyed said that it facilitated teaching practices: in the mediation of content, in the problematization of the different spatialities existing in the geographical space, thus contributing to student learning.
