This study explores the integration of digital technologies into classroom instruction, focusing on both the transformative benefits and the challenges that educators encounter. With digital tools such as computers, tablets, and educational software becoming more prevalent in educational settings, teachers and institutions are tasked with adopting these resources to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. However, barriers such as inadequate training, limited access to resources, and technical issues hinder the effective use of these technologies. Through a mixed-methods approach, this research examines the experiences of teachers in Selangor’s government and private high schools. Findings reveal that demographic factors, including age, teaching experience, and educational background, significantly influence teachers' perceptions of and comfort with digital tools. The study highlights the need for comprehensive training, institutional support, and equitable access to technology to maximize the benefits of digital integration in education.
