21st century teacher abandons the teacher centered education, which we called a traditional education, and brings student roles to the forefront in the classroom. What is expected from them is an adaptation to the new technologies and usage of these technologies actively in the classroom.Web 2.0 technology is an web technology service which enables online coorporation and sharing between web users. This service gives users an opportunity to create sharing platforms. In this project we want to see the examples from Europe about the usage of the innovations of web 2.0 tools in education such as weblogs, podcasts and videocasts, wikis, social networks, bookmarks, tagging and photo sharing.Turkish education system aims to bring up individuals who are committed to Atatürk’s reforms and principles, physically, mentally, morally, spiritually and emotionally have a moderate and healthy personality and mentality, independent and scientific thinking power, a wide world view, appreciate enterprise and individuality; who feel responsibility towards the society; and who are constructive, creative and productive. However, when we look at the reality, we can see that the perception of success is limited with the academic concepts and in the long run there is not much attention to the values which shapes the society. This causes students race with eachother in exams and slowdown on the development of the values. At this point, technological tools enables new education activities to emerge. Technological tools creates equality of opportunity and provides chance for everybody to reach to the knowledge with economic time and cost. In consequence, if we teach individuals to use these tools for their own improvement, we will raise people who are productive and problem solver in every area of life.Human changes constantly. Needs, educational activities, abilities, perceptions and attitudes are different for all people. Applying the same activity to all students prevents some of them to catch a chance to develop themselves. Combining the technology and education gives opportunity to searching and activity options. In our schools, FATIH project aims to provide necessary basis and enrich the experience of the students. Technological devices have potential to develop the quality of education.• Teachers will learn how to use technology effectively first, then they will inform the students and parents. • Raising the awareness of students that technology is a tool, giving information about alternative education sites, raising people who are improving their academic successs and self confidence, reading and using the time correctly are the main aims.• Organizing seminars for parents and inform them about conscious internet usage.Our century don’t let us to run off or ignore the the technology. So, raising individuals who are using technology effectively and safely and creating a platform for debating and information sharing on the international arena are the main reasons of the existence of this project. Ethnic identity, religion, social values differs us from other nationalities but technology is universal. It’s a common language. So we want to create an opportunity for our school personals to improve themselves and accomplish our mission on international level.
