The research was carried out with students of the Technical Courses Integrated to High School in Agriculture, Food, Environment and Maintenance and Support in Informatics of the Federal Institute of Education, Science Technology, located in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. The questions that guided the research were: Does the technology of the present times still appear as a challenge for education?

What are the difficulties and needs encountered in education to deal with the inclusion of the cellular as a device of the learning processes? Starting from an essay and study on cartography, these questions elaborated from the theoretical framework and the conviviality with high school students in the school space delimit the objectives of the research in order to understand how the use of the cell phone in the classroom as amplifier of the universe of high school students. It is recognized that it is important to address the technological issue in school settings because of the social and learning change it has caused. However, the legal instances manifest themselves, with decisions that disregard the technological importance. However, the pedagogical practices in the classroom exceed the strict limits of the school institution, generating broad possibilities of approach, of the pedagogical concepts, that generate in the classroom important re-significances. Far from indicating answers, the research presents cartography that helps open possibilities and discussions about the doubts that still arise regarding the use of this multimedia resource in the educational space, since this is already part of the daily life of the students. In order to stimulate the discussions and provide new knowledge about the processes that involve the questioning and debates in the classroom space, we tried to develop the discussions on the subject, in own methodological procedures in which it was possible to discuss ways to achieve the educational objectives, since its construction is done step by step, with the purpose of describing, discussing and mainly search the collective all the experience lived in the scope of research in education.
