In this paper, still in progress, the authors present how Web 2.0 tools can be successfully used for promoting collaboration and technological skills in teacher education programs. Participated in the study 24 teachers enrolled in a master program in education at the University of Minho, Braga, Portugal, in the 1st semester of 2007/2008.
The experience involved the use of Web 2.0 tools – Googlepages and GoogleDocs – to build an e-portfolio for group work and assessment.
