Research steps; identifying problems, limiting problems, determining problem focus, conducting research, processing data, and reporting. Research result; the average ability of productive teachers with superior expertise competencies in three vocational schools in utilizing ICT-based learning media at a good level, with details; 35.29% are at basic level, 47.06% are at intermediate level, and 17.65% are at advanced level. Productive teachers with competence in learning skills to create ICT-based learning media on time; lectures for 10 teachers, courses for 6 teachers, workshops for 14 teachers, training for 10 teachers, and independently for 3 teachers. The highest frequency of productive teachers learning to make learning media is through workshops. Utilization of learning media in practical learning; 100% of teachers use power point, 64.71% of teachers use animation, 23.53% of teachers use moodle, 5.88% of teachers use debian, 5.88% of teachers use ngix, and 5.88% of teachers use PHP.
