Teacher education is a lifelong process, which includes professional learning experiences that contribute to the quality of education. The continued education of teachers, contemplating self-forming and collaborative processes, finds resources in technological tools that add possibilities, both in individual and collective aspects. This study aims to identify a teaching profile, with a focus on professionals who use digital devices to exercise their functions and improve pedagogical practices. For this end, a questionnaire was applied to teachers in the municipal education system of the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre. In this way, the use of technologies was found to be an effective possibility to break pedagogical loneliness through the creation of spaces for interaction. The study also points out the need for education strategies to compose teacher education policies, being monitored in a planned manner.

Keywords : teacher continued education; self-formation; collaborative work; technology.
