Abstract

This article discusses a pedagogical practice in basic education, with the aim of promoting collaborative and authorial learning through Google Maps. Supported by Research with Everyday Life, it addresses understandings about processes, meanings and challenges emerging in the school space-time. By identifying gaps and outdates on the platform, the students mobilized together to produce new information, collaborating for the local community and possible visitors. This practice highlighted active, collaborative and interdisciplinary learning, student autonomy and the authorial use of digital technologies from a critical and socially responsible perspective.
