It was unfolded that knowledge level of teachers in terms of educational technologies was very low, and classroom use level of them was even lower. It was also revealed that those teachers had problems in adult learning theory. The findings of classroom observations and group meetings were consistent with the above-mentioned results. After needs assessment process, professional development (PD) programs on social media in teaching and adult teaching practices were developed and implemented in the target school.
