Computação Ubíqua e a interação corporal na aprendizagem de execução rítmica

This article describes an investigation in the use of ubiquitous computing in the context of a primary school classroom with the aim of promoting the learning and experiencing of rhythmic concepts. The school environment was transformed into a sound laboratory, where students participated in different types of interactions. Building upon physical contacts that can be easily executed and with which students were already familiar, such as clapping hands, the classroom was presented as a collective musical instrument, which lessened the technical barriers necessary to musical execution.
