Abstract

In this article the factors involved in the uptake of ICT by the teachers and the schools are examined. The focus of our argumentation is that teachers constitute a critical factor in the attempt to integrate technology in the classroom but they are not appropriately prepared for that undertaking. An extensive review of the literature associated with teachers’ views and perceptions of ICT in education is presented. Finally, we conclude debating on the demand of a new curriculum and a new pedagogical framework, both based on and enhanced by the new environments and tolls ICT offer in education.
