Current research seeks to understand weather gender is a factor that should be considered when considering teaching staff ' attitude toward Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Survey methodology is facilitated through the use of the questionnaires. The survey domain is a random sampling of teaching staff in Egyptian higher education institutions (HEI). The population for this study was 500 full-time Faculty staff, only 412 returned and complete questionnaires are considered as the study sample. The results showed that no difference between being a male or a female as regard to the attitude toward ICT among teaching staff in Egyptians HEI; thus, gender is not a significant factor when considering attitude toward ICT by teaching staff members in Egyptians HEI.
