Information and communication technologies help improve collaborative work among peers and communication between pairs, as well as access to information, as long as teachers have acquired technological skills during their professional training. The objective of the article is to analyze the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs), by high school teachers, in their educational practices in the areas of Spanish Language and Natural Sciences. The method used was a quantitative approach with a non-experimental-transectional design and a descriptive section. The sampling was non-probabilistic by quotas, made up of 71 teachers. An ad hoc designed questionnaire with 90 items, on a Likert scale, was used. The data was tabulated in SPSS V23 Software. The results showed that teachers who have been trained in the use of digital tools and appreciate the educational benefits that can be reached in their students, use it more frequently. In addition, teachers who receive support from the center authorities are more motivated to integrate it into their classroom practices. It was concluded that the training and attitude that teachers have towards the use of ICTs is what will allow them to gradually incorporate information and communication technologies into the learning environments.
