  • Abstract
    This study shows the attitude of the Greek preschool teachers towards the new technologies and distance learning technologies, as they become more and more important to the kindergartens. It shows that the teachers of our sample were partly informed and partly familiar with the new technologies. In contrast, those who were involved in distance learning are not only very familiar, hut also they are willing to use the new technologies in their classrooms. Collaboration and communication through the Internet is also boosted by the teachers who are familiar with the new technologies. Our sample consisted of 100 subjects, all of them women between 26-50 years old, graduates of preschool education departments.
