Our society is characterized by the increasing value of information and knowledge, hence educational policies have tried to implement this social transformation into educational systems in order to promote both their use and the development of basic skills (European Commission, 2011; Plan Avanza 2, 2011, Junta de Andalucía, 2003).

The work carried out about the integration of ICT in classrooms (Archer et al., 2014; Tamim et al., 2011; Sáez, 2012) reveals the importance of including ICT in formal education as an instrument which facilitates the improvement of Essential skills, especially oral skills

That is the reason why our main objective is to establish how well ICTs are integrated in the curriculum of Primary Education in the area of the “Montes Orientales” of the province of Granada (Andalusia, Spain). Consequently, the specific objectives guiding the present study are: 1) to identify the level of ICT competence; 2) To gauge the opinion of teachers and students about the implementation of these means in the classroom; 3) To verify the existence of statistically significant differences in the use of ICT according to both, the instrumental areas and the other areas of Primary Education.
