The main objective of this study was to investigate Teachers practice of using interactive white board in private primary school of Diamond Academy in Yeka sub-city, Addis Ababa. Using descriptive research design, 75 teachers and 2 school directors of Diamond Academy were selected using availability sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview. The quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS while the qualitative data were analyzed in a narrative way. The study findings revealed that the factors that hinder teachers from using the interactive white board are lack of technical support for teachers and absences of training in using interactive white boards. The results of this research suggest that the school needs to provide technical support for teachers and increase the number of technicians. Applied trainings from experts in using interactive white boards should be provided for teachers.
