Abstract
This paper presents some considerations on the theoretical position concerning the use of technology for continued education and two case studies. The first one reports a distance post-graduation course to qualify teachers who work in grade school and high school to prepare them for the use of information technologies in their classes. The second one reports the distance teaching project, based on open source software, created for people that have no access to regular classes. Both are activities at UFRGS — Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
