The information society, in which we operate, is characterized by being influenced and shaped by information and communication technologies (ICT) and their advances. In this context, teachers are challenged to encourage students' curiosity, seeking teaching innovation in the face of new technologies (Lévy, 1999). In this same scenario, students must develop skills for solving problems and interconnect them with the application to everyday life using ICT. ICTs can be used as mediating tools for teaching, helping teachers and students in the teaching-learning process. However, the constant use of mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones in the school environment is noticeable (Mallmann; Jacques, 2015), not as an ally of the teacher, but, in many cases, as a “competitor” of students' attention.
