Abstract
In this work I present an revised approach to the Spin for an introductory course of modern physics. This proposal is elaborated considering the point of view that oftenly the Spin is presented as a “strange object”; it suggests to the students that electrons are spinning basically in the same instant that those students are presented to ondulatory mechanics, where classical particles no longer exists. Here, I look for present the Spin regarding the cronological order as it was conceived, discussing the original articles and what though the main authors that collectivelly contributed to the theory. At the same time, this is made contextualizing the technological importance that is played by the Spin in our society.
