This research presents a didactic sequence mediated in a 6th grade class at the José Targino da Silva Municipal School, located in the municipality of Serra do Mel/RN (Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil), whose objective was to understand how the use of YouTube contributes to the formation of geographic knowledge. Methodologically, a sequence of activities was proposed to enable research with videos. This sequence was situated in the curricular theme accompanied by the textbook that they use, directing the work to the reflection of the students' reality; specifically, the geographic space and the economic activities of the municipality of Serra do Mel (RN). We indicate that YouTube can play a role in enhancing children's learning and empowering their development. For the development of the work, a qualitative approach was used, of an applied nature, with a descriptive objective and using bibliographic, documentary and field procedures.
