Teachers lie at the core of any living society. They are important mediators of social change, social reconstruction and social rejuvenation. A teacher’s role is not only that of the leader of the children but of the guide to the entire community. Teachers being so vitally important for any society, the task of their preparation and education assumes equal importance.
Information and communication technology (ICT) has become, within a very short time, one of the basic building blocks of modern society. The incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies in education and training programmes has profound influence in teaching and teacher preparation. The student accesses knowledge and information through Internet, TV, satellite and cable network and digital media to synchronise learning mediated through these multiple delivery mechanisms.
