RICHTER, Denis  and  NASCIMENTO, Diego Tarley Ferreira. The cartography of COVID-19: teaching-pedagogical guidelines. Finisterra [online]. 2020, n.115, pp.61-68.  Epub Dec 31, 2020. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/finis20340.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, several institutions and government entities developed online platforms to represent the distribution and the increase in the number of people infected and deaths by this illness. These tools available online grant the comprehension of the spatialization and propagation of the new coronavirus on various cartographic scales, as well as enabling the geographical analysis of this phenomenon. In light of this context, a group of researchers in the area of Geography teaching idealized the construction of didactic-pedagogical guiding material entitled “The Cartography of Covid-19: guidance for use in a school environment”, seeking to contribute to the practice of Geography teachers in basic education. In this sense, this article presents the conception and the goal of this material and the possibilities to explore these platforms in the process of teaching-learning of Geography in schools.

Keywords : Geography; Covid-19; platforms; cartography; teaching.
