With the increasing usage of technology in this era of change, education is one of the most affected fields. Schools and institutions have now moved on to use Learning Management Systems for learners’ education and teachers are forced to come up with new exciting ways to teach their learners. One of the most common ways is by using Digital Educational Tools (DET). However, how interested are learners in these tools, and how much does it affect their academic performance? This study investigates teachers’ views on their learner’s preference of DET use. A quantitative method was used, and 56 school teachers were involved with the data collection process. It could be seen from the findings that teachers can see their learners enjoying the use of DET in their lessons. If teachers were to conduct lessons using DET, activity and lesson design should be considered.
