The purpose of this work was the investigation of the use of Information and Communication Technologies by teachers who teach in the school units of secondary education of Ioannina’s Prefecture. Through the participation of 139 teachers from different subjects on the internet filling out a relevant questionnaire dealt with issues such as: the availability of and access to logistical equipment, the rate of use of available ICT, the type of activities in which ICT are used, the type of learning and teaching material used by teachers, key factors that negatively affect the use of ICT, the participation of teachers in training activities for ICT in teaching, as well as teachers’ views and attitudes on ICT during teaching and more generally within the school unit. The questionnaire data was collected in the penultimate two months of 2018. Many of the research results are in line with those of the latest European Schoolnet research.
