Professores na era digital: elaboração de um curso de formação continuada sobre aplicativos móveis.

Abstract

The digital age has become a central point in many discussions, especially when related to teaching-learning issues. Teachers and administrators are showing an increase in real interest in inserting Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) in the school and in their teaching practices. However, they face several barriers, such as high work demands, making it impossible to contact and test the new tools, solitary work, which make difficult the sharing of experiences and, finally, infrastructure issues. Due to these conditions, a continuing education course was developed for teachers whose intention was to take the discussion about the digital age and the 21st century student and in addition, to present mobile applications and their potential as possible pedagogical resources in formal education. Thus, this article aims to present how the development of a training course for teachers took place, from its preparation to its application.
