This study addresses the integration of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) in higher education in Brazil. The objective was to present teaching practices and skills necessary to effectively use DICT. Eight interviews were carried out with teachers experienced in integrating DICT in both face-to-face teaching and e-learning. Data analysis was carried out using the IRAMUTEQ software supported by the literature related to the topic. The results highlighted practices that include the use of tools such as Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, Kahoot! and Padlet. In a broader analysis of practices, it was found that teachers must understand students' needs, plan activities aligned with the pedagogical objectives, and stay up to date with technologies and active teaching methodologies. Essential skills for integrating DICT include deeper knowledge of the functioning and operation of various technologies, a theoretical understanding of the role of these technologies in the educational process, and a solid knowledge of the content to be taught to effectively integrate technology and achieve pedagogical objectives. Skills to teach effectively using digital technologies, promote their ethical and safe use, and a commitment to ongoing professional learning and engagement in professional networks are also essential.
