- Abstract
This paper investigated teachers' attitudes-views regarding the purposes for ICT usage and classroom activities with ICT tools, in junior experimental high schools in Greece (students aged 12-15 years old). The participants were 56 teachers of different specializations and data were collected via an open-ended questionnaire. The major purposes reported include that these tools are attractive, they cause/increase students' interest and motivation, and the lessons become more enjoyable. Factors that affect when and how ICT will be used in classrooms mainly regard the time and resources availability and the number of students in class. A range of ICT tools-applications are used in different school subjects for the accomplishment of various learning activities such as information search, presentation of students' work, discussions, communication, exercises, and assessment. Implications include teacher professional development and elimination of obstacles for technology utilization (infrastructure, large number of students in class).
