It is undeniable that COVID-19 pandemic changed our lives in so many ways. Education is one of the areas that was greatly affected by this pandemic. Teachers had to shift their lessons from physical classrooms which were designed to meet the students’ needs in any way possible to virtual classrooms which were an unfamiliar territory for most teachers. This study aims to explore not only the challenges teachers faced in utilizing technology while teaching students at a distance but also to shed a light on the perceptions of teachers on technology integration and technology use in their classrooms before, during, and after the pandemic. For this aim, 12 teachers working in a private primary school in Ankara were interviewed and the data was analyzed through content analysis method. The findings showed different perceptions of the teachers’ technology integration into their classrooms before, during, and after the pandemic. Also, findings are presented on how these teachers adjusted their teaching during the pandemic. Lastly, the present study provides some suggestions for novice teachers and for improving the curriculum in terms of technology integration.
