Improving Digital Literacy in Portuguese Teachers Context - Moodle as a New Platform for Teachers Training

During last year, the ICT teachers’ training in Portugal has been deeply restructured. The main objective was, after a decade of ICT teachers training using local approaches defined by teachers training centers, define and conquer digital literacy for all Portuguese teachers, independent of their basis area of teaching. Now, and a year after the beginning of the new model, it’s important to reflect about the detected difficulties, to do the balance between the expected outcomes and the real ones. There are some relevant questions: are there any new advances? What are the new challenges for teachers? What are (or can be) the outcomes? Are the outcomes the expected ones? How can schools, teachers, students, teachers training centers’ and trainers get together to make b-learning a real and sustainable approach in all Portuguese non high schools? This paper includes research about the Moodle dissemination in Portugal, reflections about the new and the old ICT teachers training model and guidelines to improve the new model success.
