Collaborative learning can be defined as the knowledge construction processes through social interactions. In the educational context, also happens through group work. In this research, we consider the occurrence of collaborative learning in situations that highlight the participation of students, through group work to learn something together while using collaborative application to support mobile device, specifically the netbook. Throughout this study, we show how the application features have been explored in educational practices by primary school students in a public school, showing evidence of collaborative learning in project activities on sustainability. processes of social interactions, the features of the resource used, the use of mobile technologies and their contribution in education were portrayed in this text. The results show that both mobile devices and the use of applications that support collaboration, enable the construction of a collaborative learning as well as reciprocal sharing of information and contents consolidated in the classroom. We inferred that the pedagogical support of these tools is in favor of collaborative work, resulting in a mutual and dynamic learning. The integration of these technologies in the educational context becomes relevant tools in the process of teaching and learning, and the development of shared production of knowledge, awakening the critical and creative character of the students.
