As teachers, we need to be proactive rather than reactive as far as the strategies used in the classroom are concerned. Long before ICT integration in schools, teachers need to begin examining how they teach....the methods used, the actual delivery of the content and how the students are expected to deal with their learning. It is not enough to put everything on pause because it is believed that the school is not 'ready' for technology. If teachers were to take this route, their students will be left behind. To keep abreast with ICT, course materials will need to be revised to accommodate online learning and students will need to be guided into using ICT for ‘just in time’ learning rather than ‘just in case’ learning. The teacher will have to prepare students for the 21st century and this can only be done effectively if she changes her approach from one of teacher centeredness to one of student centeredness with ICT integration at the helm.
