Today, dramatic increase of utilization of science, technology and computers in every aspect of human lives resulted in dramatic changes and developments in the field of education and caused increased use of computers in schools. In order to use computer technologies in schools effectively, first of all attitudes of teachers and students towards use of computers should be determined.
