With a view to valuing the teaching knowledge of a teacher at the end of her career, she reflected on teacher training and the use of digital technologies in the teaching and learning process, through e-learning, at a time when the country is experiencing a pandemic. caused by COVID-19. A qualitative research was carried out and, for data collection, a narrative interview was used with a teacher at the end of her career, who works at the Municipal Education Network of Brusque, (SC). For analysis, content analysis was used and as theoretical support, the contributions of Marcelo (2001), Vaillant and Marcelo (2012), Nóvoa (2009, 2019, 2020) and Pérez Gómez (2015). The results showed gaps in continuing education, as it is not enough to provide teachers with training, as well as to use technology for the teaching-learning process, since many students do not have access to the internet. It is becoming urgent to rethink the education, especially of children belonging to the less privileged classes.
