Abstract
The 21st century has brought changes and innovations in educational technology that should be incorporated in the curriculum at all educational levels. Therefore, it is necessary to apply modern technologies in learning processes. This work was based on basic cognitive learning theories and principles, and used software, such as Freehand, Adobe Photoshop, Jigsaw Puzzle Creator, Brainsbraker and Jigsaw Puzzle Lite, to create a multimedia version of the SALTARIESGOS board game. The game was applied and validated with students from elementary school of 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The results we obtained can be considered satisfactory based on the student’s opinion, and the pedagogical strategy was as an effective tool for achieving our goals. The educational contribution of this interactive version of the game will promote and sensitize school community members at different urban and rural areas, in order to enhance the preventive culture in disaster risk reduction.
