Data was collected with semi-structured interview form and content analysis was used. As a result of the research, it was seen that the teachers used the interactive whiteboards more to visualize the contents. Teachers emphasised on the positive aspects of the interactive whiteboards, such as saving time, making the class fun, and ensuring effective participation in the class.
