The dissertation addresses the multiple possible uses of websites for teaching history, with the history of Cabanagem as its focus. The work dialogues with the fields of public history and local history to discuss the stories and memories about Cabanagem in the municipality of Acará/Pará. The municipality of Acará is recognized by a large part of its population as the birthplace of Cabanagem. Leaders of the Cabano movement in the 19th century originated in the lands of Acará and among them Félix Clemente Malcher, the first Cabano president and landowner in the region, stands out. Currently, the municipality pays tribute to the history of Cabanagem through the names of public buildings, streets, avenues, in addition to keeping important places of memory of Cabanagem preserved in its rural area, such as Fazenda Acará-Açu, a property that belonged to Félix Clemente Malcher and which was attacked by imperial troops and almost completely destroyed. In schools and in the various communities in the municipality, students and residents bear the surnames of Cabanagem leaders in their names and in any part of the municipality it is always possible to find someone who knows a story or story about Cabanagem to tell. Throughout the development of this dissertation, we sought to gather on a website entitled Cabanos do Acará part of this information through the dissemination of interviews carried out with teachers from the public school system, photographs and also through entries that can be updated by students from the network. public education system in Acará. In this work, the website is presented in its implementation phase and with ideas that we consider to be initial and which, therefore, present limitations, but give the dimension of the size and possibilities that we can achieve as it is implemented as an instrument for teaching history of Cabanagem in the municipality. The dissertation also presents a memorial about how I became a history teacher, how I experienced a postgraduate degree in online history teaching and how the history of Cabanagem is also part of my trajectory and that of the generation of students from degree in history from UFPA between the years 1990/2010. Among the practical implications of this dissertation, we highlight the registration of the website as a teaching project with the State Department of Education (SEDUC), which made available hours for its implementation in the Acará state education network in 2024.
