Mobile Technologies Applied to Teaching: Experience in Healthcare.

Considering the significant increase in the presence of mobile devices in classroom and the opportunity to use these resources to improve and streamline the process of teaching and learning, this paper proposes a pedagogical use of mobile technologies, tablets, in class. The proposal was developed under the Project LabTEAR in its subproject LabsMóveis, and was applied in a graduating class of the Health area. The use of tablets in the university classroom contributed to the expansion of general and specific cognitive abilities stimulating creativity and leadership, enhancing the initiative to solve problems.
