India has achieved a high position in the international software sector. Even in other developed countries, Indians are in the forefront front in the Information Technology industry. But, these software personnel are completely involved in the industry and hardly contribute towards teaching, especially at primary and secondary level, their involvement is almost nil. In the present scenario, most of the teachers seem to be lagging behind in Information and communication Technology (ICT) awareness and skills because the curriculum they studied did not comprise of ICT as it is a new one. Hence the teachers need capacity building in ICT and this would result in better teaching.
A school-based and classroom-focused approach to teacher training in ICT use takes into account the fact that teachers need to ‘learn about technology … in the context of their subject matter and pedagogy’ Teachers learn how to use ICTs more effectively when they see the technologies not as generic and decontextualized tools but as tools for teaching, that is, for motivating, managing, facilitating, enhancing, and evaluating learning. Thus, teacher training in ICT integration needs to be hands on, involving the application of skills learned (through formal training) in the classroom over an extended period of time. This in turn means that the teachers need access to technology resources (computers, training materials, educational software), support from technology managers (i.e. the computer lab manager or ICT coordinator), and support from colleagues and school administrators. Structured opportunities for retraining, upgrading, and acquisition of new knowledge and skills in-service, including workshops, courses, and postgraduate certificate and degree programs and continuous support are required for teachers to teach ICT effectively in class room. This paper deals with ways and means of ICT capacity building for teachers and also few case studies of already implemented case studies.
