the month of May 2018, in the classroom with an average duration of 2 hours. In each session, the educational
technology (ET) Ecosaúde was applied, and a content validation instrument of the ET was filled out by the
participants. The study was approved by the research ethics committee of the university under resolution n°
1,934,809. Results: The validation process reached the proposed value for most answers (80%). Conclusion:
