This communication examines two extension modules of continuous teachers’ formation on the use of new technologies in education offered in two cities in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The objective is to think about the formation provided and the aspects which are relevant to teacher’s technological formation. The theoretical constructs are related to the new vision of learning (Delcin, 2005); the new education and the use of new technologies (Braslavsky, 2004; Martínez, 2004; Sacrístan, 2007); teachers’ role (Kenski, 2001; Lopes, 2005); digital literacy (Almeida, 2005); and computer assisted language learning (Barros & Cavalcante, 2000; Warshauer & Healey, 1998).
