Abstract

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education is a relevant research question. With the improvement of technology, the use of mobile phones by the students is more and more common in the classroom, enabling an appropriate environment for mobile learning (m-learning). This paper analyzes how Art/Music students in Brazilian context of technical high schools education can be motivated in auxiliary research with these technologies support to build and optimize their own Art knowledge. Its approach is how the teachers can use applications as an useful help in the teaching and learning process.
