Abstract: In this paper, we want to discover how the sudden and fast shift to online teaching effected the Computer and Digital Literacy for the teachers and trainers. Many teachers and trainers although had a certification on the use of technology, but many of them did not use it to teach. There is no doubt that the more competent teachers are in technology and in IT Communication, the more successful teachers they will be when teaching online. This paper tries to answer these questions: What challenges did the teachers/trainer faced when moving to online teaching? What are their strength and weakness? And are they going to keep using the technology even after they go back to the traditional face-to-face learning?
In addition, we wanted to see which applications are popular and what is the level of competency? Then finally, we want to discover practical solutions to the Digital Literacy gap and suggest ways to narrow the gap and increase teacher’s digital literacy and computer skills.
Keywords: Technology, Computer Skills, Teaching, Training, Digital literacy. Digital Competence.
