Objectives: To identify the strategies, didactic resources, and digital tools used in undergraduate nursing teaching, based on the students’ opinions. Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out between May and August 2016, with 149 nursing undergraduates from a public university in the state of Minas Gerais. Data were analyzed in a simple descriptive way by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0. Results: The predominant teaching strategies were: 147 expository-dialogue classes (94.6%); and 131 expository classes (87.9%). The teaching resources were: 148 Data Show, 148 (99.3%); 146 article reading (98%); and 142 slide projections (95.3%). The predominant digital tools were: Digital PowerPoint™ presentation, 147 (98.7%); e-mail, 145 (97.4%); and Google search engine, 144 (96.7%). Conclusion: The results demonstrate the need for greater diversification and use of several strategies that employ information and communication technologies in nursing education.
