The main subject was Didactic Transposition. The teachers searched the WEB for new information in their areas, and produced didactic material. The Santa Maria Federal University Computer Multimedia Environment (AMEN in Portuguese) was used as the main tool. Our proposal involved Dialog-Problematical Education, School Action-Research, Free Software and Problem Solving. The results show Virtual Environment for Teaching-Learning as a powerful formation tool, specially when combining presential and distance modalities, allowing teachers learning while developing their professional activities. Also show an increased computer use by teachers as needed to explore and investigate these resources potential in formation situations and in school work.
