For that reason, it may be useful to determine the problems the teachers faced while they received the in-service training of FATİH Project. The purpose of this study was to determine the teachers’ views and needs about the in-service training within the scope of the FATİH Project that aims to integrate interactive and mobile technologies into education in Turkey. Qualitative case study methodology was performed for this research. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews from fifteen teachers in a high school. Content analysis method was used while reaching the findings. The findings indicated that the teachers prefer more practice-based trainings for longer and repeated periods of time, and special trainings for teachers at different fields.
