Five different videos were produced and after delivery, the students answered a semi-structured view. The investigation involved the participation of 40 students and two teachers of biology Cruzalmense Educational Center. The study presents evidence that the use of audiovisual media is viewed by teachers and students as a very useful resource in the classroom, but both stated that the production of videos, to approach content was never worked. The students point out that the production of audiovisual media improves the understanding of the content, streamlines and makes lessons more interesting, in addition to promoting greater participation and group work. The teachers, in general, stated that the use of audiovisual media assists in student learning, but did not know how to work with tools for video editing and so did not use videos in their own classes.
