Abstract
From the 1990s onwards, several international agreements were signed with the objective of universalizing education. Such action was strengthened at the World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal in 2000, where 164 countries, including Brazil, signed a commitment to provide Education for all - EPT. To make this possible, it was established as one of the commitments to raise new information and communication technologies to support the effort to reach the EPT goals. Since then, numerous actions have been developed for the insertion of Information and Communication Technologies - ICT's in Education. However, this is not only a reality in Education, as nowadays we are immersed in new technologies, making us have new ways of interacting, communicating and learning. In this context, there has also been an expansion of cell phone use by the population for various purposes. Thus, bringing this instrument as an ally in the teaching-learning process becomes of great value. Thus, a literature review research was carried out, observing the use of cell phones from two perspectives: in general use by the Brazilian population and from the perspective of legislation, in order to contextualize the use of cell phones as an educational resource in contemporary times. At the end, as a result of this article, three studies are presented that demonstrate the use of cell phone applications in the school environment and finally expose four applications for the use of cell phones as an educational resource for continuing education and in the teaching-learning process.
Highlights
There has been an expansion in the use of cell phones by the Brazilian population
This phenomenon is evident when we observe that in 2017 the contingent of people aged 10 years or over who had a mobile phone for personal use was 139.1 million, which corresponded to 78.2% of the country's population in this age group. age, in correlation with 2005, this contingent increased by 147.2%, that is, 82.8 million people (IBGE, 2016)
In 2015, the number of people aged 10 or over who had a mobile phone for personal use was 139.1 million, which corresponded to 78.3% of the country's population in this age group
Summary
There has been an expansion in the use of cell phones by the Brazilian population. Having this question as a guiding question, we present research on the use of cell phones in Brazil, legislation on its use in the classroom, research on its use in the classroom and we propose possibilities for its use in continuing education and in teaching-learning process.
