Fraction is one of the important mathematics topics, and it has been determined that students at every grade have misconceptions about fractions. Regarding the fact that technology has been developing rapidly, it is actively used in educational institutions. It has a great number of benefits. It has become inevitable to associate conceptual change texts (CCT) with technology. In this study, electronic conceptual change texts (ECCT), were designed in order to eliminate misconceptions on fractions and to strengthen the effective teaching by creating a different point of view. These texts were presented to 12 teachers, who work at different secondary schools and interviews were carried out with them. As a result of these interviews, teachers expressed positive opinions about these texts and said that it would be effective to develop them.
