integration process can offer another perspective and a contribution towards
understanding the related factors and strategies of utilization of technology
for instruction. The purpose of this study was to understand how a computer
science teacher utilized an online learning environment and to reveal possible
strategies and enablers of utilization process. Purposive sampling method was
used as qualitative research paradigm. In line with the purpose of the study, a
computer teacher was selected as the sample target of the study. Results showed
that the teacher utilized the online learning environment for preparing and
supporting classroom instruction. During the utilization process activities,
demonstrations, discussions, content explanations and evaluations were
frequently used. Use of the online learning environment enabled the teacher
spare much time for dealing with students individually, provide alternative

perceived that his students became aware of responsibility for their own learning,
became aware that information can be accessed from other sources and were much
active and participated more to the lessons.
