Cartographic representations of teachers on the Web

Abstract

This paper aims to raise issues about places, roles, dynamism and, mainly, representations of teachers engaged in Distance Education. It has been noted that the source visions for these representations are overly related to misconceptions about the images of teaching disseminated by the modernist practices in schools over the years. Through the analysis of pictures collected on the web, we discussed these visions from our own experience as teachers in Virtual Learning Environments.
