Abstract

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the new  coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is considered the first major pandemic of the digital media era. The social isolation resulting from the disease prevention measures favored a greater use of social networks among people, enabling the insertion of educational technologies in the networks. Video classes present themselves as a didactic and innovative resource that allows to introduce different
contents in an attractive and dynamic way, configuring themselves as a great strategy to carry out health education activities in times of COVID-19. Objective: To report the experience on the use of video classes as a health education tool during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The video classes were built weekly, from a theoretical stance, addressing different themes, and were made available in a group created in the WhatsApp® application. Results: Using video classes, it was possible to maintain and carry out health education activities, transmit information, exchange knowledge and experiences, and interact with the group without the necessity of face-to-face meetings. In addition, video classes were well accepted by  the target audience, who actively interacted with each topic addressed. Conclusions: The experiences of this project allowed a reflection on the reinvention of new methods to carry out health education, emphasizing the importance of using video classes as a tool that allows to produce educational activities in the face of the current pandemic scenario.
