Abstract
This study was initiated to assess the status of digital competencies among teacher educators in Ethiopia. A questionnaire, adopted from an instrument previously developed to measure teachers' preparedness to use digital technology has been used to gather information. Findings indicate that teacher educators demonstrated marked strength in certain domains of competence (e.g., preparedness to use digital technologies; and attitude towards use of digital technologies); and had serious limitations in others (e.g., awareness about the shortcomings of digital technologies). With regard to factors that affect the utilization of digital technologies, teacher educators identified three factors as most important: lack of facilities, supporting resources, and training. The chapter ends by making recommendations based on the findings of the study.
