Strategies for ICT Integration in Teacher Education

Abstract

In the present scenario, we can see that the development of technology has changed the world outside the classroom. The reason why ICT has troubled learners is that technology has promoted development in many ways – first, helping people to participate actively in society in all ways such as social, economic, and political life. The second is to leverage technological innovation as a means of human development leading to economic progress and increased productivity. ICT is becoming an integral element for educational reforms and innovations at all levels of education. It is recommended that the authority of the institution should leverage teacher trainers with ICT resources in the institution and sponsor them on training and retraining programs to produce ICT-compliant products. The advancements provided by ICT resources in higher education can be evident through access to quality resource materials and instructional delivery. This can be achieved only if it is comprehensively integrated into the teaching process in the teacher education system. Productive instructional delivery enhances learners' creative and intellectual development through the use of ICT resources, for example, the use of multimedia images, graphics, audio, text, and motion for high-quality learning.
