The aim of this article is to analyze whether Nearpod is a technological instrument capable of providing attractive and dynamic classes for the students of the Zoology III course in the Degree in Biological Sciences of the Federal University of Pernambuco. The choice of this feature was due to its particular characteristics that allow the teacher to work in the classroom in the perspective of M-Learning, once this app is configured as a tool that can enable the use of smartphones in the classroom. Thus, it is believed that the use of mobile devices in the didactic strategies of the teachers can generate more reflections on the part of the students with respect to the mobile learning, since, this subject is extremely important in the educational scope and often does not have spaces of discussions in the degrees. The methodology of this work is quantitative-qualitative character and it is configured as a participative research type. Among the subjects involved in the study, we have a sample of 32 students who participated in the research and a teacher who teaches in the discipline of Zoology III. The data were collected during a four hour meeting in the evening with the students of this discipline. During the intervention we carried out the application of two questionnaires made available through Google Docs directed to the said subjects. The results indicated that Nearpod contributed significantly to the promotion of a dynamic and engaging classroom, since students were very involved throughout the process and also because the teacher used the various didactic tools present in the platform to make the more attractive class to students. Among the difficulties encountered during the intervention, we can draw attention to the problems of technological infrastructure that generated some difficulties during the intervention, but that soon was bypassed. In this perspective, this study opens the door to further discussion about M-Learning that is configured as a type of learning that occurs through mobile technologies.
