Challenges of Teacher Education• Globalization
– Worldwide and meta-regional convergence
– Market with two distinctive elements: • Integrated and operating in real
time. • Communications, knowledge and
culture – Marked by accelerated and intensified

Need of ICT
• ICT removes problems concerning space and time– the students can communicate any where, any time– the students can contact the teacher any where, any time– the students can collect and exchange information any
where, any time
• ICT gives access to knowledge– in principle the students can draw on a global pool of
knowledge
• ICT makes saving – and sharing – knowledge easier– the students can, individually and/or together create
records of notes and presentations (portfolio) and thus register their progress and use it for exams

How Technology is changing today’s classrooms
• Collaboration (Resource, Institution
level, Student level)• Real time communication• Integration of multiple media• Student driven information access• Customized learning/ Individualized degree
program.(Teaching will become more outcome based and student centered)
• Availability of updated Knowledge (Expanded access to educational and reference resources)
• Distance learning • Stronger bonds among faculties and students• Networking 20
How Technology is changing today’s classrooms• Shifting of instructional
paradigm: – Focus of application of
knowledge to particular
problem rather than memorization
• Increased greater number of interdisciplinary majors
• Increased Inter-university collaboration among students/faculties from multiple institutions
21
Technology Integration
• Tools• Interactive whiteboards• Student response system• Online collaboration tools• Video conferencing• Sophisticated learning-
management systems • Podcasting• Wikis • Instant messaging • social networking• Search engine
22
What are the tools used by student and teachers?
• Students– Search Engine– Office tools– E-mail
• Teacher– Search Engine– Video Tutorial– E-mail – MIS – Office Tools
23
How student and teacher updates their technological knowledge?
• Students– Overusing and Misusing (Music ,
video, hacking
/cracking) – Networking (Social
networking, Chat)
• Teachers– Need base and individual directed– Specific training
24
What are the barriers that preventing the student and teacher from adopting technology?
• Cost• Lack of vision or plan• Inflexible Thinking By
– Teachers– Parents– College boards
• Lack of teacher training• Entrenched organizational cultures• Technology – affordance rather than
demands of subject matter
25
5. Support system
• Academic Institutions– Involvement of teachers in different activities– Need for both in-service and pre-service
teacher training– Teacher preparation should not be based on
training for ‘computer literacy’ but should prepare teachers for using technologies to construct, represent and share knowledge in real life authentic contexts
– Teachers should not be taught about technology but how to use technology for constructing, organizing and communicating knowledge
26
Conclusion
• Continuing old practices
with new technology will
neither change nor
improve education• Technology drives reform in
education, but also education reform makes a school ripe for technology
