The ability to use digital technologies has appeared in our days as a fundamental component in education, with a growing interest being shown in the implementation and development of on-going training activities for teaches in the field of information and communication technologies. In line with this, there is an acknowledgement by the educational community of the need to implement and define strategies for the use of technologies, as they are indispensable tools for the development of the educational process, generically allowing the interpretation, storage, production, and transmission of information. Accordingly, this article addresses the conceptual and methodological outlines of a training action for teachers, which the Madeira Regional Directorate of Education offered in relation to a collaborative technological tool especially designed for education contexts - Sapo Campus. Besides this component, the Sapo Campus platform was expanded to include the exploration of other pedagogical tools and materials based on the use of digital technologies that have the potential for use in a school context in the construction of multimedia works for the educational community. The training action was overseen by two trainers and carried out by fifteen teachers from various areas of teaching. A survey made using a questionnaire resulted in a very positive evaluation, both in regard to the concepts covered and in relation to the methodology adopted for the carrying out of the training activity.
