Uso de blog para o ensino de micologia da Amazônia

Abstract

The teaching of microbiology contents in basic education, including the fungus thematic, can get more attention from students if developed in a contextualized way. The knowledge about Amazonian fungi has been little discussed in the school environment, and is not represented in textbooks. This work proposes the creation of a blog as didactic resource for the teaching of mycology with contents produced by the researches carried out in the Amazon. For that, a literature survey was conducted on the use of virtual resources and blogs in teaching, as well as the content used to create the Amazon Fungus blog. In this report, the relevance of the mycology contents of the Amazon in the formation of the individual is discussed. The final product was developed from a Google tool called Blogger, where Blogger (person responsible for editing) can remotely access and edit your content whenever you want, as well as interact with your users through the comments window. The Fungi of the Amazon blog is available online by bringing together various references of monographs, dissertations, theses and scientific articles in Portuguese and free access to fungi. They are the results of scientific research carried out in the Amazon scenary or with samples collected in the region. It is hoped that it will contribute to advancing the diffusion of knowledge about these living beings, gaining students' attention to this area of study, and, indirectly, helping to conserve biodiversity.
