The pandemic reminds every teacher that everything must be done as quickly as possible to respond to every challenge and new development in the teaching process. In addition, it is necessary to recognize how to engage with students and deliver efficient and effective instruction. This study aims to assess teacher's technological capability in the use of digital modality in the classroom. Purposive sampling was used in the quantitative study, and 62 teachers participated in the study. The data was analyzed using JASP software. The study researched the level of technological capabilities of the teachers and its relationships between technological capability levels and teachers' age, teaching experience, and educational attainment. The results show that technological capabilities of teachers were “Distinguished”. It implies that young teachers have higher technological capabilities than older teachers. However, since age has a significant relationship with technological capability, it may be used as a basis of intervention. This study can be used as baseline information for the teachers upskilling and retooling technological capabilities. As teachers extend their service and increase in age additional technology training should be provided.
