The aim of this paper was to find out how primary school teachers perceive modern technology as a tool for distance learning in the wave of the Covid-19 pan- demic. What was their experience in this area, time and what equipment (software and hardware) they had to fulfill the educational essence of their profession. As a method for the research survey, we used a questionnaire, where we evaluated the answers from a total of 149 respondents – teachers working at the first stage of primary schools. The questionnaire consisted of 17 questions, partly socio-demographic and, in connection with them, questions with regard to the essence of the research survey. From the overal output of the research survey, it is clear that primary school teachers, with regard to the demographic distribution, have a positive attitude towards modern technologies. This relationship / attitude was evaluated with a final grade of 1.74 (grade taken as part of the school environment). The material provision of distance learning or technology in ordinary frontal teaching is not at all surprising. Educators make extensive use of a technique that is generally known and used in other professions or in the daily activities of the ordinary person. It is mainly a laptop and a printer. The issue of modern technologies and online tools is very complex, because it is a completely new era that the current population is going through. Technology development is advancing very intensively. It is now the educators who guide current pupils through basic educa- tion and give them a foundation in digital and information technologies who need to deepen their knowledge and skills. Given the pandemic situation within Covid-19, it is clear that there has been a radical reversal in the ability of teachers and the schools themselves to access distance learning with the help of modern technology.
