Abstract:
Mobile devices are tools that provide resources for building a seamless teaching and learning process. Smartphones offer features such as sensors, interfaces, and wireless interfaces that are still little explored in classrooms. The identification of programs for mobile devices adapted to a new model of use of information technologies allows recognition on the current panorama of use of mobile devices in the modality of classroom teaching. Smartphones in schools present a new reality about the insertion of the technologies in the school environment in conflict with the ways of trying to use computers as an educational tool. In this work, it was sought to identify, in a database, applications for mobile devices products that may be adequate to support the teaching and learning process in the context of an educational ecosystem.
