It is becoming increasingly important to understand teachers’technology integration and distance learning adoption after a sudden implementation of the working-fromhomepolicy as a precaution towards the further transmission of the virus. The present study examinesthe issues particularly regarding the used technologies, the process of distance learning, and the teachers’distance learning adoption levels. This study was conducted using an online survey involving 572 teachersin Indonesia. The results reveal that teachers tend to use devices and applications for remote instructionthat already they used for daily life, and global applications are more likely chosen by teachers for managingvirtual classrooms rather than the local ones. The teachers stand on an enhancement level of technologyintegration thus yet integrate technology as a transformation of learning. Most teachers have immediatelyprepared for teaching remotely when the working-from-home policy has been implemented so that they canbe categorised as early adopters of distance learning. Teachers’ agility in adopting distance learning duringthe crisis raises an optimistic signal to effectively adapt and adopt remote instruction to formal schoolenvironments in the future. Since the current study has only examined teachers in one country regardless ofteaching subjects and school levels, a cross-national study on a specific subject and school level is needed inthe next study.
