The rapid advancement of virtual technologies has transformed the educational landscape, necessitating the development of teachers' information competence to enhance digital literacy and pedagogical effectiveness. Despite the increasing integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education, a gap remains in understanding how virtual technologies can be systematically applied to improve teachers’ professional competencies. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing literature analysis, case studies, and surveys to examine educators' proficiency, challenges, and adaptation to virtual learning environments. The findings highlight that structured training in virtual technologies significantly improves teachers’ ability to manage digital resources, conduct online learning, and foster interactive classrooms. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of cognitive, motivational, and reflective components in virtual technology competence. The results suggest that educational institutions must implement targeted professional development programs and revise curricula to incorporate digital competencies. The study's implications extend to policymakers and educators, emphasizing the need for continuous investment in ICT-based training. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term impact of virtual technology integration on teaching methodologies and student outcomes to develop scalable models for digital education.
