Abstract

Technology is evolving at an exponential rate. Teaching demands and the changed face of education add pressures to an existing teaching populace. Loss of expertise and an undersupply of ICT skilled teachers, heralds an age of extreme concern. We have to realize that ICT is here to stay, and its infusion into every aspect of daily life cannot be argued or disbanded. So, for today's society to function effectively, ‘highly competent teachers must present tomorrow's school graduates with the highest quality of schooling. Through professional development or retraining the teacher models life-long learning and acquires good ICT skills incorporated into a new pedagogical approach. The skills and knowledge of the older teacher then evolves in to a rich tapestry of knowledge that can only serve to create fuller teaching styles that will ultimately benefit the student and society.

All teachers must then embark on this continuum of professional development with encouragement and support, and ultimately be valued.
