In this text, predominantly, the theoretical framework that guided a doctoral research on the professional development of History teachers of the Municipal School of Belo Horizonte (Brazil), who experienced a process of formation and consolidation of a collaborative group mediated by information and communication technologies applied to education - TICE. We highlight how online collaboration can be an aggravator of the professional development of teachers and provide examples of this interaction mediated by E-tool group. From the concept of professional development adopted by Garcia (1999) - as the set of processes and strategies that facilitate teachers' reflection on their practice, which helps teachers to manage knowledge, strategy and be able to learn from their experience - we believe the e-group may be a collaborative work space that stimulate these thoughts to occur.
