Literacy in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is fundamental to life in our modern technological society. It is a valuable tool to enhance teaching and learning. It is a valuable tool for researching, composing and responding, viewing and representing in education. ICT is becoming crucial to supplement the conventional or traditional mode of education. The advent of the twenty-first century has seen a rapid growth in ICT. This has brought remarkable changes, as well as affected the demands of modern societies. ICT is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives and in our educational system. Realizing the effect of ICT on the workplace and everyday life, today’s educational institutions or giving more focus to restructure their educational curricula and classroom facilities, in order to bridge the existing technology gap in teaching and learning. Harnessing ICT effectively to build knowledge and more effective education systems has implications for changing skills requirements, particularly for teachers. As teachers are at the heart of curriculum delivery, they play a pivotal role in the adoption and integration of ICT in education. The relatively recent appearance of user-friendly educational technologies means that older generations of trained teachers are either ignorant of the potential of ICT and/or lack the skills and confidence to deploy it effectively. Increasingly, approaches toward ICT integration in education are becoming more widespread, moving towards ICT skills being deployed in a context of broader educational reform, which embraces a shift away from teacher-centred, lecture-based instruction toward student-centred, interactive, constructivist learning.
