The survey was completed by a sample of 536 teachers who worked in different faculties in Gansu Agricultural University in China. The results described the profile of participants' digital competence and revealed their thought about using ICT tools in class. We found that in general, teachers considered themselves as positive in several sections of digital competence, but they also expressed their weak point in digital content creation. Moreover, teachers expressed using ICT tool in class was very important with mentioned training that deficient digital competence related training may lead difficulties in the process of teaching.
