This text aims to discuss how technologies of information and communication (ICT) are used in the teachers' education. Based on theses and dissertations, defended between 1996 and 2002, it analyses discrete elements and relations with the aim of mapping three trends in the incorporation of ITC: (1) as a strategy to develop diverse distance learning programmes; (2) as a possibility for improving teaching-learning processes; and (3) as the key to e-learning.
