The paper aims to present the experience carried out by the Interfaculty Commission of Medical Education at Sapienza University of Rome.

In this paper a collaborative model for training teachers to use graphing calculators will be discussed. To avoid the weaknesses of standard trainings, our collaborative model focuses on developing activities according to teacher’s needs and tastes. Moreover, it provides ample space for discussing the results of experimenting these activities in classes and exchanging feedbacks on classroom activities, achieved skills and observed criticalities. These trainings are designed to be reassuring and not astonishing.
