Abstract (2. Language): 
The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is increasing in education. ICT teachers have important role and responsibilities in ICT world. In this study, the problems of ICT teachers and their suggested solutions that stated by them were evaluated by analyzing their messages and shared information in Internet and social media. Document analysis was used as qualitative data collection method for this study. The research group was consisting of the ICT teachers that have worked in secondary Turkish Schools from July 2012 to July 2013 who used social media. In the study, teachers’ opinions and suggested solutions in social media (forums, blogs, Facebook and Twitter) had been obtained and categorized in six area as course compulsory, curriculum, personal rights, job definitions, Fatih Project, ICT infrastructure and innovative ideas. The data have been evaluated categorically in frequency and percentage. At the end of the study; it was evaluated that the solution suggestions provide a great asset in education for innovation and changes. In this context, problems about employee personal rights (f=61 and %31.9) have been the most important one and the suggested solutions express legal arrangements to be made. In the second place, obligatory course (f=49 and %29.9) was stated. Inadequacy of the curriculum and the need for update (f=28 and %14.6) was the third most discussed topic. Progressive applications and renovations (f=23 and %12.1) were in the fourth place. In the fifth place, it was expressed that the success probability of the Fatih Project (f=21 and % 11) was low in the current situation and the ICT teachers must be included in the project. Lastly it was seen that the infrastructure and support (f=18 and %9.5) were required for development.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bilgi Teknolojileri (BT) kullanımı eğitimde giderek artmaktadır. BT öğretmenleri, bilgi teknolojileri öğretimi konusunda BT dünyasında önemli rol ve sorumluluklara sahiptirler. Bu çalışmada, BT öğretmenlerinin internet ve sosyal medyada paylaştıkları ve kendileri tarafından belirtilen sorunları ve çözüm önerileri kendi mesajlarından analiz edilerek değerlendirildi. Belge analizi bu çalışmanın nitel veri toplama yöntemi olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubu, Temmuz 2012'den Temmuz 2013’e kadar sosyal medyayı kullanan Türk Okullarında çalışan BT öğretmenlerinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada, sosyal medyada (forumlar, bloglar, Facebook ve Twitter) öğretmenlerin sorunları ve önerilen çözümleri altı alanda, ders zorunluluğu, müfredat, kişisel haklar, iş tanımları, Fatih Projesi, BT altyapısı ve yenilikçi fikirler altında kategorize edilmiştir. Veriler, frekans ve yüzde olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda, çözüm önerilerinin BT eğitimi için büyük bir değer sağladığı görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda, özlük hakları (f=61, % 31.9) ile ilgili sorunlar en önemli konu olmuştur ve çözüm önerisi yasal düzenlemelerin yapılması gerektiği olarak değerlendirilmiştir. İkinci olarak, dersin zorunlu olması (f=49, % 29.9) ifade edilmiştir. Müfredat yetersizliği ve güncelleştirme (f = 28, % 14.6) üçüncü en çok tartışılan konu olmuştur. Çağdaş uygulamalar ve yenilikçilik (f =23, % 12.1) dördüncü sırada yer almıştır. Beşinci olarak, Fatih Projesinin (f=21, % 11) başarı ihtimalinin mevcut durumda düşük olduğu ve BT öğretmenlerinin projeye dahil edilmesi gerektiği belirtilmiştir. Son olarak (f=18, % 9.5) altyapı ve teknik desteğin gelişim için gerekli olduğu görülmüştür.
