description Researchers’ interest in technologies at school is longstanding and still increasing, tackling both their impact on learning, and the conditions of their effective use in education.  A main concern is however, teachers’ widespread lack of confidence towards new technologies.This paper analyses an experience of effective integration of new technologies at school and offers some reflections on teachers’ perceptions about the development of their awareness. This is based on the initiatives implemented by Rete Dialogues, an Italian national school network committed to practice the pedagogy of dialogue and linked with the international project Generation Global. We focus in particular on the importance of creating a suitable learning environment, in which teachers are trained and supported. We observe how the role of peer tutoring is crucial and building a computer-supported cooperative community of professionals become possible.   Docenti e nuove tecnologie: l’esperienza del Teamblogging Nel tempo sono divenute sempre più numerose le ricerche sull’utilizzo delle tecnologie a scuola, sia sul loro effetto sull’apprendimento, sia sulle condizioni necessarie per un loro efficace utilizzo in ambito didattico. A tutt’oggi si registra però una diffusa diffidenza da parte dei docenti in questo ambito. Questo studio riflette sulle resistenze dei docenti, proponendo un’esperienza di integrazione efficace delle nuove tecnologie a scuola attraverso le iniziative promosse da Rete Dialogues, una rete nazionale di scuole impegnate nella pedagogia del dialogo, nell’ambito del progetto internazionale Generation Global. Lo studio si sofferma in particolare sull’importanza della creazione di un contesto di apprendimento adatto, in cui i docenti vengano formati, supportati e messi in rete tra loro, nell’ottica della creazione di una comunità professionale di lavoro supportata dal computer.
