Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of teachers’ attitudes and sense of efficacy towards the use Web 2.0 tools. To pursue that purpose, we used a sample of 224 teachers to whom were gathered data from their personal and professional characteristics, ITC use, a Teacher Computer Efficacy (Sang et al., 2009) and Attitudes Toward the Computer Scale (van Braak, 2001). Results allow us to conclude that most teachers used ICT in their professional and personal daily tasks, being the most used Web 2.0 tools the youtube and blogs. Special
Education teachers frequently used these tools, being most used the educational software. Inferential studies allowed us to verify differences in attitudes and self-efficacy in terms of personal and professional variables. The data are discussed and suggestions for further studies presented.
