Geotechnologies and Multimedia Resources in School Cartography

As a result of the dedication to teaching over nine years in the public school system in municipal and state schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro and the search for new ways to teach cartography through academic research, this book, the result of a master's dissertation defended in 2014 at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, presents a methodology for teaching maps in digital form, called 'Mapping My River' with the use of Geotechnologies and Multimedia Resources applied to Environmental Education in Elementary School II. The theme surrounding the teaching tool 'Socio-environmental Perception' seeks to awaken in students and teachers of basic education criticality and awareness of the importance of actions in favour of preserving the environment through cartographic representation.
