Education, Culture and Heritage: A Proposal for Use of YouTube Videos in High School

This paper described a new teaching methodology based on the use of social networking of YouTube videos. It was developed with high school students in a Technological High School-ETEC President Vargas, in Mogi das Cruzes, S?o Paulo, Brazil. The students were invited to develop critical appointments about the cityscape, unveil the simplest cultural heritage of everyday life. After this they created a channel on YouTube called Citizenship Dialogue, in which 31 videos are available until present date. This research was based on contemporary studies of communication and heritage education. It was a qualitative approach, which described the actions these boys and girls developed along the year of 2014. The results show that one can apply this methodology based on communication and education because the product—the video language reflects a critical overview of everyday life of these participants.
