Abstract

This article presents a proposal to transform continuing education based on social networks from the exploration of the Herrán´s notion of creativity applied, with which to analyze teaching practices in higher education. This is a process of training followed by another action - research with the help of ICT, a cycle of 3 steps to rethink the practice. The participating teachers changed their schedules including creativity, develop projects in this vein with his students and shared on a network with other teachers. As a result of this, we extracted some strengths and weaknesses of the process, and lessons for redrafting.
