The respondents who participated in the research filled out questions using KOBO TOOL. The questions were designed for the research purposes to cover the hypotheses. The respondents’ attitudes were recorded on a Four-Point Likert Type Scale. The results show that the respondents generally have a positive attitude towards the use of ICT in teaching, and that the use of ICT contributes to the modernization of teaching activities. Conclusively, these findings are intended to encourage teachers and students to adopt current teaching technologies as part of their educational progress and experience.
