This paper represents observation on digital competences with primary school teachers from the year 2012 to 2014. Observations made are based on a two part on-line questionnaire in which primary school teachers are the focus group. The first part consists of demographics (gender, age and seniority, level of education, title, educating region and population). The second part includes digital competences of primary school teachers. We researched which hardware and software equipment is being used in classes (Slovene, Math and Environmental Sciences), the virtual tools used for establishing communications and co-operating with broader audiences and the amount of hours spent per week on the web for educational purposes in their classes. We were interested in the amount of hours per week in which Information and communications technology (later referred to as ICT) is used for consolidation of knowledge, repetition and gathering learning materials. We also collected information regarding possible hazards such as child or youth abuse when using on-line and mobile technologies, production and update of on-line learning material and the reason for use of ICT by the teachers. The gathered data was analysed and compared according to age.
