Summary: | Through a brief literature review we situate the information technology, especially mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) in our society
highlighting the importance of teaching and education in this field. The IT education rarely deals with contemporary social issues dealing only with the technical aspect of the training. We highlight the merit of addressing social issues in the modern educational environment especially in courses of
technical and technological training in IT. On the one hand the IT education, and other contemporary social issues. This paper presents proposals to
connect and articulate these two distinctly opposite points. Considering the importance of a mobile programming course, we present some suggestions
that seem timely and relevant on how to perform this connection and at the same time bring out an orientation, a window to discuss with the students
about the humanitarian and social problems that are all around us today.
Keywords: Teaching resources, Teaching Information technology, Contemporary social issues, Technological education.
