Using information technologies in physics teaching: the moon’s blog

Abstract

The technological resources that we have in our day lives make mandatory that we rethink about our actions as teachers and work in order to make a good application of those resources in our professional activities, i. e., as a teacher. This shows up in a more evident way when we refer to teaching physics, that is the major responsible by the development of those resources. In this work, we present the results about a study where we construct and used a blog with subjects about the Moon along with different secondary high school classes. Supported by a qualitative analisys of the teachers perceptions and of a test applied to the students, we concluded that using such a tool takes the students to a better protagonism in studing the subject here explored, contributing to the teaching-learning process about Moon’s topics and its properties.
