Abstract
In this work we present “360 Webinar Series” a transnational professional development online initiative promoted and developed by Red Universitaria de Tecnolog a Educativa (RUTE). Since March 2019, a cycle of monthly webinars led by experts from eight countries (France; USA; Australia; Germany; Czech Republic; Portugal; Chile, and Russia) has been implemented with the aim of analyzing the initial training of pre-service teachers, as well as professional development practices of in-service ones in regards to the promotion and use of Educational Technology. The cross-sectional analysis of the content of this initiative has allowed us to obtain conclusions related to: a) the defining characteristics of initial training in educational technology for teachers in the participating countries; b) the common and differentiating characteristics that define educational technology training for teachers in the participating countries, and; c) the challenges that training in educational technology is experiencing from a transnational perspective.Downloads
