In the literature there are metaphor studies on technology (Durukan, Hacıoğlu, & Dönmez Usta, 2016;Fidan, 2014;Gök & Erdoğan, 2010;Kobak & Taskin, 2012;Korkmaz & Ünsal, 2016), the internet (Kocadağ, Aksoy, & Zengin, 2014;Saban, 2010), computer (Çoklar, Vural, & Yüksel, 2010;Ekici, 2016;Guneyli & Ozkul, 2013), social networks (Eren, Çelik, & Aktürk, 2014;Fidan, 2014;Gurol & Donmus, 2010) and distance education (Kaleli-Yılmaz & Güven, 2015;Taş, Yavuzalp, & Gürer, 2016;Tuncay & Özçınar, 2009). However, studies on determining perceptions on virtual classrooms and implementations through metaphors, were not found.…”
