Abstract

The paper presents a view of teachers of primary schools to use of information and communication technology in teaching and in preparation for teaching. The subject of the research investigation has been programs in which teachers mostly work. We also tried to identify the motives that influence the using of information and communication technology by teachers. The research instrument was unstandardized questionnaire with closed items. Our assumption, that teachers are most working with MS Word, has been confirmed. Then application for creating of presentation MS Power Point has followed. Internet Explorer is mostly used for access the internet, but Firefox is used too. For interactive whiteboard is applied program Interwrite. The part of the research investigation was also determination where teachers look for help and advice when working with information and communication technology as well as investigation what are teacher afraid. For help and advice teachers are mostly asking in their colleagues, followed by learning in courses that are charged by school. The biggest concern they have from the failure of technology, intensive preparation and lack of time due to the learning objectives during implementation of the technology into education.
