What about UWI, after all this is the institute for higher learning so what about UWI? If teachers are to successful in technology is UWI making use of technology for teachers? Are our new teachers equipped to integrate new dimensions of teaching into thier pedagogy or are we going to be left behind?
With the emerging new technologies, the teaching profession is evolving
from an emphasis on teacher-centred, lecture-based instruction to student centred,
interactive learning environments. Designing and implementing successful ICT-enabled teacher education programmes is the key to fundamental, wide-ranging educational reforms.
Teacher education institutions may either assume a leadership role in the
transformation of education or be left behind in the swirl of rapid technological
change. For education to reap the full benefits of ICTs in learning, it is
essential that pre- and in-service teachers are able to effectively use these new
tools for learning. Teacher education institutions and programmes must provide the leadership for pre- and in-service teachers and model the new pedagogies and tools for learning.
