Abstract

Today there are many global investments in ICT to improve teaching-learning process in various educational institutions that has been initiated by many governments. Still we are lagging behind somewhat in ICT adoption or integration in teaching-learning rather than the investments in ICT infrastructure, equipments and resources. As the teaching without innovations and technology is meaningless, thus in order to facilitate teaching-learning process adoption of technology is must. And that adoption is possible by enriching the teacher education with latest technology and innovations, strengthening the pre-service and in-service teacher education programs and by the professional development of teacher incorporating technological based-gadgets in educational system.
