3. What is the Role of ICT Teachers ?
it is hard being an ICT teacher. We have to endure
serious accusations that our students are ‘digital natives’
with the know-how to deal with technology.
To bearing the guilt for every incident that occurs with the
misuse of ICT tools or even poor typing skills. It would
seem that the days of being the magician in the ICT
lab, revered for our skills but with little chance of others
understanding what we are doing would be longed for but
the reality of the situation is that the world has changed
and ICT teachers must change too
