ABSTRACT
In contemporary times, traditional learning methods have been losing space to more innovative environments, demanding from the professor the insertion of more interactive strategies in the teaching and learning process, based on the dialogical relationship between the actors of the educational dynamic. The objective of this research was to understand the impact of the use of digital technologies on the apprehension of information, on the part of undergraduate nursing students (face-to-face), from private institutions, in the city of Palmas - TO, during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a quanti-qualitative, descriptive, exploratory research. The adopted methodological procedures were: specific literature review and questionnaire. The research revealed that during the period that universities were required to implement remote classes, students realized that these technologies are supports in the construction of knowledge and in the learning process. But some obstacles were determinant in this process, evidenced, mainly, by the precarious access to the internet and the non-adaptation to the methodology adopted by the professors in the remote modality.
ABSTRACT
The text addresses the risks involving xenophobia against the Chinese on the internet, and social networks, from the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to demonstrating how irrational this manifestation is, especially the idea of virus creation in a laboratory. For this purpose, historical examples of how xenophobic prejudice is meaningless and have damaged humanity's trajectory in all world regions are addressed. Finally, I warn about the need to use science to confront the new coronavirus and abandon conspiracy theories.
