Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the impact of using technology on school culture along with its effects on the organizational climate. The researcher uses a case school and reveals ethnographic research with sample activities. To identify the correlation between being an eTwinning school and its effect on the school culture, data were collected from a focus group consisting of 11 administrators and project coordinators in Turkey whose school is an eTwinning school. Their views about integrating technology to the school culture and their preferences on using Web 2.0 tools as a leader are questioned. The data obtained is analyzed and interpreted by descriptive analysis. According to the results, it appears that being an eTwinning school has a positive impact on the school culture. The schools that use technology most are characterized by innovation, sharing, collaborative work, and positive communication with stakeholders in terms of shaping their culture.
