Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become one of the basic building blocks of modern society. Many countries now regard understanding ICT and mastering the basic skills and concepts of ICT as part of the core of education, alongside reading, writing, and numeracy. There is a widespread belief that ICTs have an important role to play in changing and modernizing educational systems and ways of learning. When these technologies are applied in the field of education, it is termed as ICT in education. The teachers need to acquire new knowledge and reliable and authentic information as the burden of the development of the young generation lies on their shoulders. The acquisition of fundamental ICT skills among teachers and students helps knowledge sharing, thereby multiplying educational opportunities. However, all teachers are not willing to introduce new technologies to themselves first and subsequently to their students. Teachers have to be trained to facilitate the learning process, make the process real, achievable, challenging, yet exciting and not intimidating. ICT can be used in support of traditional teaching methodologies like the large group lecture, student note taking and examinations. Preparing future teachers who know how to integrate effective use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in their curriculum remains a challenging goal for teacher preparation programs. Students need to acquire digital age literacy skills and learn how to responsibly use technology as a learning tool for acquiring information, solving problems, sharing knowledge, creating innovative ideas and developing global awareness. It is high time for the teachers to acquire mastery over the technical know how or else the teachers who are literates and supposed to spread literacy may be treated as illiterates in the present scenario.
