The purpose of the study was to examine the educational-technological profile of teachers to boost the use of ICT in teaching practice, in order to outline a strategy for integrating the virtual learning at the ISUTIC (Higher Institute of Information and Communication Technologies). The research design that employed the exploratory descriptive, with a quantitative methods approach was adopted for the study. Specifically, the forty five participants that taught at the ISUTIC in 2017 were used for the analyses. The results indicate that 48.89% of lecturers strongly agree that ICT makes their work more productive, 46.67% agree that ICT makes classes more interactive, 51.11% agree that better ICT knowledge results in greater preparation, 42.22% fully agree that ICTs motivate students and 48.89% agree that they need to become more and more empowered in ICT. The study recommends that, the use of technological tools in teaching-learning activities should be the vision of all teachers who now have the task of preparing intellectually, professionally and culturally future generations. The data are analysed and discussed through assess the level of preparation of teachers and their attitudes towards ICT, to design the necessary training activities.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the educational-technological profile of teachers to boost the use of ICT in teaching practice, in order to outline a strategy for integrating the virtual learning at the ISUTIC (Higher Institute of Information and Communication Technologies). The research design that employed the exploratory descriptive, with a quantitative methods approach was adopted for the study. Specifically, the forty five participants that taught at the ISUTIC in 2017 were used for the analyses. The results indicate that 48.89% of lecturers strongly agree that ICT makes their work more productive, 46.67% agree that ICT makes classes more interactive, 51.11% agree that better ICT knowledge results in greater preparation, 42.22% fully agree that ICTs motivate students and 48.89% agree that they need to become more and more empowered in ICT. The study recommends that, the use of technological tools in teaching-learning activities should be the vision of all teachers who now have the task of preparing intellectually, professionally and culturally future generations. The data are analysed and discussed through assess the level of preparation of teachers and their attitudes towards ICT, to design the necessary training activities.
