In fact, children of early age and elementary school are proficient not only in using these digital devices, but utilize it to surf in the virtual word. This is in line with the development of school infrastructure that provides and or involves computers in learning. For a long time, many universities have used ICT in lectures, both as learning media and lectures conducted in the form of e-learning. If university students, including elementary school teacher candidates, are familiar with e-learning, how is the perception of elementary school teachers who are familiar with using of computer toward e-learning? Questionnaires were given to 55 elementary school teachers, who were able to operate computers, randomly selected to describe e-learning concept that they understood and applied. Although the majority of them mention e-learning specifically as learning involving computers in their implementation, and assuming they have implemented e-learning, they basically apply blended learning. Computers used as a complementary medium, not the main. Through the results of the survey conducted, discussed gap between the perceptions of elementary school teachers believed with the actual concept of e-learning. Through the discussion also obtained a picture of how the actual application of e-learning by teachers is blended learning. Suggestions on the urgency of implementing e-learning in elementary school are also included.
