Teacher Training and Social Software

Today Education is characterized by the use of Information and Communication Technologies, as well as the adaptation to the European Higher Education Space. In this environment, the social software turns up as a tool that, strategically used, can lead to interesting pedagogical innovations. This article shows an innovative experience developed during the academic year 2008/2009. Using blogs strategically and from a constructive view, the students of three different courses and specialities of Teacher Training in the University of Extremadura shared practices and reflected actively on their own training process. Finally, it was found that whenever a student was offered the opportunity of deciding some aspects of their training, this training improved, in this case even promoting the use of original technologies as blogs, which has been found as an important and useful pedagogical resource in education.
