To teach Geography, we use different teaching methodologies that generally involve the use of different languages ​​and teaching resources in classroom work. Considering that research dealing with geotechnologies as a didactic resource in the teaching and learning processes in geography is still incipient, this research was developed, which takes geotechnology as a didactic resource in geography classes in basic education. In this context, the objective of this study is to analyze to what extent the use of geotechnologies as a didactic resource in Geography classes contributes to the student's learning about the city, seeking to identify the best geotechnological tool to be used in the classroom, and how Its products, in this case satellite images, enhance the geographical understanding of urban phenomena, providing a more meaningful learning about the city and the phenomena of urban space. To meet these objectives, we opted for qualitative research, in the participatory research modality, in which the observation of classes and the interview appear as data collection methods. The actions and interpretations of this investigation consisted in the application of a didactic sequence for the teaching of contents about the city using Google Earth as a didactic resource. The proposal was thought and discussed with the teacher of the 7th grade class of the Center for Full Time Education teacher Lousinha Carvalho, in the city of Goiânia / GO, and later, in a joint action between the teacher and the researcher, was performed. From the actions developed, the results showed that the use of Google Earth Geotechnology as a didactic resource for city teaching favors the learning of geographic contents through the visualization, observation, analysis and interpretation of images, concomitant with the theoretical construction of knowledge. geographical. The results also point out that this didactic proposal opens the way for the development of notions of geographical thinking, once the students started to interpret their living spaces, establishing correlations, comparisons, spatializing the phenomena and explaining them. Through the activities developed, it was concluded that when reading the geographic information represented in satellite images and photographs, the student observed the space, analyzed it, interpreted the information and confronted it with its conceptual definition, giving meaning to the information. associating it with reality, thus structuring geographic knowledge.
