Abstract
Currently there are many possibilities to incorporate Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into the classroom, which help students to become active participants in their own learning process. This research describes a practice developed with undergraduates being prepared to become teachers of English as a Second Language in the south of Brazil. The experiment proposed the usage of a global educational network called Edmodo, which is still an uncommon reality in many schools. The objective is to create a site in which the teacher and the students can share ideas, suggestions, post comments as well as widen their knowledge of digital tools. According to the theories of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) another benefit is the improvement of the students’ proficiency in the second language. The authors believe that teacher trainees who explore technological tools during their formation are more likely to incorporate them in their very own practice as teachers.
