The purpose of writing this paper is to find out how far the modern technology, especially mobile technology that developed today is used by teachers in the process of learning in the classroom. This presents new challenges to teachers in their ability to collaborate optimally used technology and learning methods. This research uses descriptive methods with data collection techniques in the form of observation and interviews with relevant sources. The participants of the research are 12 teachers in four elementary schools in Bendosari. Despite in many studies, it is said that modern technology can have a positive impact on classroom learning, but the teacher's active role in using technology in the classroom depends on the availability of infrastructure and teacher awareness of the benefits of technology in learning. This paper shows that all teachers have and using smartphones, but few still use them in classroom learning. There are still many obstacles in the field to be some factors why teachers have not been able to take advantage of rapid technological development opportunities. The factors are age limitations, skills in technology operations in learning and the absence of obligations for teachers to use technology as a media of learning.
