The study carried out lays on issues which a careful examination aims to lead to a contribution to the resignification of the teaching-learning processes, especially on the ambit of spatial geometry. The following issues are highlighted: (1) the relationship between cyberculture and the teaching-learning processes, especially concerning the spatial geometry scope, (2) the ways of feeling, expressing and learning which the mediation of the digital culture brings contemporaneously to the youths; (3) research understood as happening/experience, which the dimension of intervention allows to link up researcher and researched dialogically, recognizing themselves as co-authors of the research process. The main focus of this study was to examine whether the dynamics of use of networking technologies, proper to cyberculture, may resignify the building of spatial geometry knowledge for young students of medium level teaching schools. The theoretical approach is based on the dialogic and alteritarian Bakhtin principles and on the Vygotsky's concept of mediation. Under the orientation of a historical-cultural approach, other theoretical interlocutors contributed significantly to the comprehension of issues which involve the relationship between education and post mass communication processes, and were indispensable to the building and interpretation of data. Among them are Lucia Santaella, Maria Teresa Freitas, Pierre Lévy, Marília Amorim, Maria Helena Bonilla, Nelson Pretto, Edmea Santos, Guaracira Gouvêa, Maria Luiza Oswald, and others. This study was carried out at a state school in the city of Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro state, with 78 students of grades 2 and 3 of medium level teaching. To collect objective information, a questionnaire was applied using Google Docs application. Qualitative data were built through the dynamics of convergence of media which involves the Webquest methodology, the wiki interface and Geogebra software. In view of the presuppositions that establish a relationship between authorial propositions, alteritarian postures, and everyday practices, an attempt to build a methodological strategy in which the appropriation of cybercultural dynamics and digital interfaces was able to assist the identification of how to use these resources in the resignification process of the geometric knowledge building, as well as to find out its application limits, has been made. The results achieved, yet provisional given the unfinishment of happenings that makes research an unfinished experience, indicate the necessity of recognition of the youth as a knowledge producer which should be legitimated in order to make the teaching-learning practice of geometry result in knowledge that articulates science and everyday life. This was the valuable experience brought by research to my own practice as a mathematics teacher, experience which I hope may reverberate to other teachers.
