\n Read \u2018Preparing Teachers for the Challenge of Teaching and Learning with Technology\u2019\u00a0(Adams & Petty, 2003); and \u2018Information and Communication Technology in Teacher Education\u2019\u00a0(UNESCO, 2002, pp. 72\u2013114).\u00a0 Using your thoughts about teacher preparation, write a reflection. Include methods you may use to integrate technology into your classroom. If you are currently not teaching, include methods you would use to integrate technology. What are some of the challenges and how would you overcome them? please make your reflection personal and practical by including real class examples.\n <\/p>\n

• \n Research indicates that teachers must use computers competently in their classrooms, both as vehicles of pedagogically sound instruction and for classroom management (Adams & Petty, 2003). However, the lack of time, access, and support needed for teachers to feel competent using technology in instruction may keep them from becoming comfortable with technology in their classrooms. The usual one-shot workshops organized to prepare teachers to teach with technology is inadequate.\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  • \n This paper report on the findings of a small project set up to investigate the factors which have contributed to the continuing use of ICT by teachers in their teaching. The factors which were found to be most important to teachers in their teaching were: making the lessons more interesting, easier, more fun for them and their pupils, more diverse, more motivating for the pupils and more enjoyable. Additional more personal factors were improving the presentation of materials, allowing greater access to computers for personal use, giving more power to the teacher in the school, giving the teacher more prestige, making the teachers’ administration more efficient and providing professional support through the Internet (Cox, 2000).\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • \n The range of technology used inside the classroom has boomed, with the rise of smartboards, digital textbooks and, most notably, the tools offered on the Internet (Bryant, 2016). But what does this continuing growth in education technology mean for teachers? Can technology replace the teachers? While many teachers are excited by technology and interested in the ways in which they can use it to enhance their teaching, others are concerned by its rapid development and wonder whether they themselves could eventually be replaced.\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        • \n The success of computer education in secondary schools depends on teacher preparation. However, research shows that a number of essential conditions that are necessary for successfully integrate ICTs into teacher education programmes are not in place. Teacher educators express frustration by stating, “I am having problems implementing our plan for infusion of ICTs because\u2026” (UNESCO, 2002, pp. 72\u2013114).\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
