While information and communication

While information and communication technology (ICT) is not a panacea for all educational problems, today’s technologies are essential tools for teaching and learning. To use these tools effectively and efficiently, teachers need visions of the technologies’ potential, opportunities to apply them, training and just-in-time support, and time to experiment. Only then can teachers be informed and confident in their use of new technologies (Bowes, 2003).

Teaching is becoming one of the most challenging professions in our society where knowledge is expanding rapidly and much of it is available to students as well as teachers at the same time (Perraton, Robinson, & Creed, 2001). As new concepts of learning have evolved, teachers are expected to facilitate learning and make it meaningful to individual learners rather than just to provide knowledge and skills. Modern developments of innovative technologies have provided new possibilities to teaching professions, but at the same time have placed more demands on teachers to learn how to use these new technologies in their teaching (Robinson & Latchem, 2003). These challenges ask teachers to continuously retrain themselves and acquire new knowledge and skills while maintaining their jobs (Carlson & Gadio, 2002). Then what can be done to help teachers meet these challenges?

Today, a variety of ICT can facilitate not only delivery of instruction, but also learning process itself. Moreover, ICT can promote international collaboration and networking in education and professional development. There's a range of ICT options – from videoconferencing through multimedia delivery to web sites - which can be used to meet the challenges teachers face today. In fact, there has been increasing evidence that ICT may be able to provide more flexible and effective ways for lifelong professional development for today’s teachers.

Hơn nữa, ICT có thể thúc đẩy sự hợp tác quốc tế và mạng trong giáo dục và phát triển chuyên môn. Đó là một lựa chọn phạm vi của ICT-từ hội nghị truyền hình thông qua đa phương tiện phân phối đến các trang web - mà có thể được sử dụng để đáp ứng những thách thức giáo viên mặt ngày hôm nay.
