Waymade College of Education has been offering ComputerEducation as a compulsory components since the time of itsinception.We train our student teachers to integrate ICT in teachinglearning process through practical sessions and assignment of preparing digital lessons and making presentations.During the practice teaching phase the student teachersimplement their digital lessons and presentations in theschools.It has been observed during the practice teaching that mostof the schools have minimum required facilities vis-a-vis ICT.Notwithstanding such inadequacies, the Government of Gujarat has made the training of in-service teachers for usingtechnology in teaching learning process compulsory.This prompted us to study the extent of actual use of technology in the teaching learning process by the in-serviceteachers at schools with the requisite facilities.

Suggestions

The teachers should increase the use of ICT for contenttransaction, preparation of the teaching-learning materials,academic planning, project work and making presentations asthese are the components directly related to the teaching-learning process, rather than using it for maintaining records,examination purpose and downloading information. For thefulfillment of this objective, training programmes need to beconducted on a large scale.

The management should encourage and support the schools todevelop language laboratory and use it for the teaching of languages.

The management should motivate teachers to use ICT for theteaching-learning process by providing the incentives and

framing the policies at the institute.INTEL should collaborate with Teacher Education colleges toprovide training to in-service teachers for using ICT in teaching-learning process.
