The teaching of Geography requires the teacher a teaching practice that brings the student closer to knowledge through a learning in which he is the protagonist and there is an appreciation of his individual abilities and talents as well as the knowledge he possesses as a citizen. In this sense, the present research arose from the need to improve the teaching practice through the construction of a methodology of digital book production in the teaching of Geography that provides meaningful learning (AUBUBEL, 1982) and collaborative (DILLENBOURG, 1999) in this discipline. We focus on the learning of geographic contents, using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to develop the skills and abilities required of young citizens today according to the National Curriculum Parameters of Geography (1998), among them a broad understanding of reality, , basic concepts and procedures, and explanations of geographic knowledge about student and global reality. The research applied the methodology of digital book production with high school students of the State School Rui Barbosa, located in the city of Tibau / RN. The methodology was developed in three stages; bibliographic review and planning of actions; actions developed with students for the production of the digital book; analysis of the methodology of digital book production in the teaching of Geography. The digital book production can contribute positively to the teaching of Geography in the context researched since the method prioritizes the protagonism of the student, values its knowledge and to them adds knowledge about Geography.
