The study aims to analyze the views the teachers, who attended the training on study sheet preparation using interactive web apps, have about the process. The sample used for case study contains 26 teachers who attended the “Study Sheet Preparation Using Interactive Web 2.0 Apps” workshop, and who took part in the study on a voluntary basis. In the workshop, four web 2.0 apps were presented to the teachers, followed by six practices. The data gathered in the study was collected through a form comprising seven open-ended questions, drawn up by the researchers. The responses provided thus were thereafter used for content analysis. The responses provided thus were thereafter used for content analysis. In conclusion, it was observed that the teachers deemed the training a most effective and interesting one, useful for their educational needs. The teachers noted that they attached greater importance on practical trainings where they acquire the knowledge of what knowledge could come in handy and how to use certain skills in the classroom, compared to purely theoretical knowledge provided in some trainings. That is why the provision of interactive web apps in the context of material development, and the incorporation of such tools in the practices, is recommended.
