Analyzing the results of the research, it was observed that the geography teacher is always willing to perform a different class, using the technological resources to expose documentaries and films to improve the understanding of the above content, in order to improve the teaching process /learning. And the students were satisfied with the methodology used by the teacher, even though many still sintiram difficulty dealing with new technologies, the majority states that the use of technological resources improves the understanding of the content. However, we know that the use of new technologies in the classroom is still a challenge for many schools, because not all schools have equipment for the use of technology in the classroom.
