Educating teachers in ICT : from web 2.0 to mobile learning

Abstract

This paper focuses and reflects on ICT programs for teachers in pre-service and in service enrolled in Master Courses at the University of Minho. We briefly present its evolution starting from the nineties. We propose five topics, beginning with a contextual understanding of learning in the 21st century, evaluation of online resources, creating educational resources such as Treasure Hunt and WebQuest to take advantage of the information available online, publishing and interacting using Web 2.0, and mobile learning. A study aimed at Master students from Educational Technology was conducted and inquired as to their Web literacy as well as their reception to mobile learning in schools.
