Methods: Qualitative case study research, theoretical and empirical methods were used; semi-structured and open Skype interviews were applied, based on an intentional sample of two teachers. Results: the teachers integrated computer technology in their teaching but the nature of integration was superficial.
Conclusions: The new four-year model B. Ed used, was based in teacher-centered instead of learner-centered, the level of integration was symbolic.
