Abstract

Within the current scenario, surrounded by Information and Communication Technologies, the importance of Geotechnologies as a subsidy for teaching is also added. The research arises from a diagnosis previously made, about the difficulties reported by teachers of the discipline of Geography of the basic teaching about Cartography and Geotechnologies. The present work presents a didactic sequence proposal, divided into three stages, focused on the use of Geotechnologies for the Teaching of Geography, which relates contents of Cartography and Geoprocessing, in the sense of understanding their concepts and languages ​​expressed in the cartographic products used in the Geography teaching. From its application, it was possible to verify that the uses of these tools linked to Geotechnologies can enrich the lessons, making them more efficient and attractive. It also highlights the great potential of free access applications and softwares as tools to be used in the teaching of Geography.
