In Covid-19 times we experienced, through teacher training course, elements that facilitate the understanding of what was the adaptation of educational practices in basic education. The way of teaching remotely was a process that produced in the teacher substantial modifications regarding the use of technologies and their application in teaching methodologies. Reflections and analyses were needed on the perceptions linked to the teaching process and remote learning, using technologies.  How were teaching strategies defined in the adaptation to remote teaching? What practices were developed? The research methodology used was qualitative, with substantiated constructions that proved the scientificity of the work. The results highlight characteristics and elements of the work panorama, with the emergency remote teaching facilitating reflections and scoring indicators for the improvement of what was done from the benchmarks in the area of distance education.
