Teacher Education and Contemporary Technology

Abstract

This article intends to present the result of some teacher's work at the college education in a university in the South of Brazil. We are going to show how the work with new technologies was effective in spreading knowledge and even in allowing the interaction with groups. We are going to draw a brief profile about the teacher's college education in Brazil, discuss different technologies such as the virtual learning environment (Moodle), Cmap tools, blogs and Facebook, and finally, we are going to talk about the importance of teachers training to work with technologies that are constantly being updated.
