The total number of teachers involved in this study is 785 in 43 education facilities.

The results showed that 44% of the teachers claimed to be members of social networks and this fact can be used to promote digital teaching and learning. At the same percentage level are the teachers who use the internet extensively and competently and even higher is the percentage of teachers (57%) who are willing to try new applications, programs, and resources. But, despite the young age of teachers, 65% of the sample admitted that they do not use technology in their subjects, even though the teaching curriculum allows the integration of technology in the teaching process.
