This study aims at identifying the obstacles that school academics faced within the distance-teaching process during the Coronavirus pandemic. It also aims at pinpointing the tools that the teachers used in distance-teaching to follow up with the pupils' homework during the pandemic. It was conducted during the second semester of the academic year 2019-2020. The population of the study was teachers working at private and governmental schools in the Directorate of education in Jerusalem suburbs. The representative sample consisted of (289) teachers from both genders who were asked to fill a questionnaire that consisted of four aspects that contained 39 items. The results of the study indicate that the obstacles that teachers faced in distance-teaching during the Coronavirus pandemic were (moderate). They also indicate that teachers mostly depended on the social networking sites (Facebook and WhatsApp) to keep in touch with their students. In addition, the results show that the teachers mostly depended on the tools that they themselves developed more than the ones that are recommended by Ministry of Education. (Published abstract)
