Summary
The universities that train teachers have been making great effort to train teachers that are capable of using information technologies and transferring this capability to the teaching environment. The Ministry of National Education has taken an important step with the “Movement of Enhancing Opportunities and Improving Technology” known as FATIH Project and has made investments in the educational use of information technologies. In the Tenth Development Plan, the main objectives of the education system were stated in the way that individuals using and producing science and technology should be trained and they should be brought up by attaining basic knowledge and skills. In the policy explained considering the realization of them, it has been stated that a transformation program involving a curriculum which has integrated into information and science technologies is going to be applied The benefits of using information technologies in the educational environment could be expressed by making the lessons more attractive to students, making it easier to reach goals, avoiding wasting time and making learning more permanent (Katrancı & Uygun, 2013, p. 773)
