Resumen
The initial training of quality teachers is seen as a key to improving the learning outcomes of students in
Chile. The TYMMI project is one of the initiatives being developed to provide a space for simulation for
teaching practices in immersive virtual environments in Second Life and Open Sim. Initial Teachers
Training belong to the School of Education at the Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción, participated
during 2014 in the implementation of challenges, based on a pedagogical model and teaching
strategies such as role play and problem-based learning. Through direct observation and blogs, the results
show that participants have an important domain in the pedagogical and technological interaction.
Despite the perception of the technical difficulties of using platforms, students emphasize that the
experience has been supportive along their teaching practices, and it has allowed them to reinforce subject
content, which poses a very motivating intellectual and technological challenge.
