The present research aimed to relate data collected in blogs and websites administered by history teachers of basic education with the theoreticalconceptual assumptions of media information literacy in order to discuss the approach given to cinematographic resources indicated in these virtual media for purposes didactic-pedagogical. As for the methodology, this research is characterized as a descriptive study of qualitative and quantitative nature. The study was elaborated through bibliographic research and documentary research, whose sources were virtual media. The analysis was based on the Content Analysis method. With regard to the results, the research observed 25 virtual media, of which nine presented indications of cinematographic works, totaling 362 distinct films. The information provided by teachers in virtual media allowed the identification of aspects related to media information literacy, among them: mentions related to access, evaluation and use of film resources; note of data referring to the indication of authorship in the information posted on virtual media; observation of information that admitted the democratic and positive potential of the use of film languages for educational purposes, as well as the negative potential, aimed at the idea that there are commercial and ideological intentions behind film production. We conclude that it is essential to improve and develop information and media skills and competences, since access to ‘unconventional’ resources requires new skills from individuals. In this context, the librarian is inserted as a mediating agent in the promotion of strategies for the effective and ethical use of information.
