The impact of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) in the different areas of social life, requires the school to constantly rethink its methodologies to enable students to build new teaching and learning paths. Often, the limited training of teachers in the field of TDIC, or even the lack of access to such tools, makes it impossible for school content to be sufficiently explored using digital technologies. Several studies on history teaching in the last decades highlight the formation of a student capable of understanding himself as a historical subject, of his identity and aware of his social role in the world to which he belongs. Thus, thinking of a curriculum that links the teaching of history and technologies is necessary. This article presents the experience report of an extension course aimed at primary school teachers, as well as undergraduate students in History at the Federal University of Western Bahia (UFOB), which took place in the second half of 2019. Through from debates on theory and practice, methodological possibilities were thought together so that digital technology can be used in the classroom, aiming at the production of school historical knowledge. In this way, Active Methodologies were approached based on their possibilities and limits, taking into account the reality of basic education in Barreiras/Bahia.
