Batur, BaĢar

In this research, high school teachers‘ technology usage rates in lessons or prelesson period in Erbil City, Kurdistan Region-Iraq, is studied. A questionnaire was prepared and the survey was done in April 2010 in 7 high schools on 65 teachers. The research included most of the technologies in education such as board, book, projection and internet. According to the results, it is obtained that high school teachers in Erbil have never used some technologies and are not using some technologies sufficiently except from boards and books. One of the reasons for this is identified as these technologies are not available in schools. It is remarkable that most of the teachers have computers and internet connection at home but they are not using these technologies for their lessons despite the striking improvements in educational technologies.
