Abstract

This work presents an integrative pedagogical practice using technological tools with the objective of initiating an environmental education process with elementary school students in the municipality of Areado, in the State of Minas Gerais, through the geographical conception of natural resources, using theoretical research, fieldwork, and technology based on the students' reality, in the year 2016. The methodology used initially focused on a case study, valuing the students' prior knowledge, and subsequently proposed fieldwork, where they emphasized the search for environmental problems and the creation of audiovisual material discussing the problems found and proposing solutions to these issues. As a result, there was great involvement on the part of the students, in addition to critical and very enriching debates about the experience lived. The use of technological tools for conducting research proved effective, as it accentuated the students' creativity.
