Based on survey to 243 teachers and also after SEM AMOS applied , the result showed that first, computer self-efficacy and perceived easy of use effect perceived usefulness; second, perceived easy of use and perceive usefulness influence the attitude towards using; finally, perceived usefulness and attitude towards using are predictor variable of intention to use. Overall, Technology Acceptance Model is a good model to investigate the intention to use e- learning for teachers
