Sumario:In this paper we present some ideas for the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) from a critical perspective based on the systematization of the development process of the second version of Caza Mosquitos (an application for mobile devices that addresses the problem of diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti). Taking Latin American Popular Education (PE) as our central framework, we summarize the following points to be taken into account in ICT design processes: promote critical inquiry of reality; encourage collective work; foster the transformation of reality; use open source, open information management and appropriate graphical design. From a social perspective of technologies, we conceptualize what has been done as an activist Technological Creation for the purpose of collective action and social and, in this case, educational intervention.
