This article has approached the digital literacy in the internal discussion on teacher training, reporting the experiences constructed in a research group guided through the psychological historical-cultural perspective. Having presented some definitions of digital literacy, we could reflect upon the challenges posed to the educational system by the confrontation with new reading and writing practices made possible by the use of computers and the internet. Next, we analyzed how teachers, in their initial and continued training program, are prepared to the insertion of these technologies in their pedagogical practices and how to understand their student's digital literacy. At the end, teachers are placed in the internet age, in their irreplaceable task as knowledge mediator and questioner, adopting an open position, and, at the same time, a critical one, on the face of what this digital technology offers.

Keywords : Digital Literacy; School; Teacher Training.
