The literature review, questionnaire survey, and the in-depth interview were used in this study. In this study, the interview questions were semi-structured; interview data emerged from 10 volunteered Taipei Municipal vocational high school teachers in Taiwan. The study also used the proportionate stratified sampling method to select 250 Taipei Municipal vocational high school teachers from 19 schools in different areas of Taipei. There were 218 valid questionnaires, and the data were analyzed by using the factor analysis, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Based on the results of this study, the factors influenced teachers' attitudes to use ICT which included administrative support, teachers' ICT confidence, technical skills in ICT, and lack of time. Some related discussions and suggestions were offered for the future studies.
