New subjects and syllabuses were introduced. In 2014-2015 school year appeared new school textbooks for first and second grade. Unlike the previous textbooks new ones are made not only printed but also in digital format. After 6 months of introducing digital textbooks in Romania, it is necessary to identify teachers' opinion regarding these curricular materials. For this purpose, we conducted an online questionnaire. Based on teachers’ answers in this article we made an analysis of teachers' opinion on the issue of digital textbooks, we have identified certain needs of teachers and we drafted some recommendations.  \nKey words: primary education, digital textbook, Romania  \n1. Introduction  \nThe great majority of European countries recommend or suggest several innovative pedagogical approaches that may be effectively enhanced through the use of ICT with the aim to increase students’engagement and improve their results (EACEA P9 Eurydice, 2011, Key Data on Learning and Innovation through ICTat School in Europe) .  \nComing to align to these European trends, the Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sports of Romania through order no. 3654/29.03.2012 approved the Framework Plan for Primary Education, Preparatory Grade, First and Second Grades. New subjects and syllabuses were introduced. In 2014- 2015 school year appeared new school textbooks for first and second grade. Unlike the previous textbooks new ones are made not only printed but also in digital format.  \nIn a study that preceded the introduction of digital textbooks, Manasia, Pârvan & Paraschiveanu (2013) investigated to what extend this educational policy (the introduction of digital textbooks) has the potential to become a successful instructional practice. The study conclussions shows teachers’reluctance because they are not yet familiar and trained enough to effectively integrate digital textbooks in teaching. These findings confirm other international findings (Greenfield, 2013) according to which Students, Professors Still Not Yet Ready for Digital Textbooks.  \nAfter 6 months of introducing digital textbooks in Romania, it is necessary to identify teachers'opinion regarding these curricular materials. For this purpose, we conducted an online questionnaire. Based on a questionnaire developed by Lalău (2014) we designed an online questionnaire adapted to the new issue, that of digital textbooks. Some items were taken by, while new ones were conceived. Based on teachers’ answers in this article we made an analysis of teachers' opinion on the issue of digital textbooks, we have identified certain needs of teachers and we drafted some recommendations in this direction.  \n2. Digital textbooks  \nA textbook is an official document of education policy that ensures the program realization in a form that relate to the knowledge and skills at the systemic level, through various teaching units, operationalized in specifically structured chapters, subchapters, lessons, learning sequences (Cristea, 2004, p.300). The textbook can be presented as a typewritten study book, xeroprinted, lithographed or  \nprinted for each educational discipline (Bontaș, 2007, p.118). Digital textbooks (Tatum, 2016) refer to electronic versions of a traditional print textbook that are used in schools or colleges. In addition to the normal features found in a conventional textbook, the digital textbook often provides additional audio and video resources to help the reader assimilate the information contained in the text. While digital textbooks have been around since the 1990’s, technological advances since that time have made the option of using digital textbooks more attractive than ever.  \nPsycho-pedagogical","cbCait3Aq3JMMUJc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait3Aq3JMMUJc","pdf",525208,"English","# 1.
