Abstract

ICTs have the potential of enhancing wider accessibility to education, free from the time constraints of the traditional way of teaching-learning process. To make the best use of ICT possibilities, it is high time for the teachers to possess technology literacy that can help them adaptable with the changing trends. ICT helps improve the quality of education, and it can be used to create positive learning environment as envisaged by the modern educational theories. However, because of the barriers in its implementation stage, many educational institutions in the developing countries fail to effectively integrate ICT in education. Inadequate training in this area may lead to widening of the existing digital divide.
