ABSTRACT
Rapid advancement of information technology (IT) is a powerful force for social, economic and educational change. Education systems around the world have introduced initiatives to respond to the IT imperative and to meet the demands of global knowledge economy in the IT-driven information age. Many scholars (e.g. Voogt & Knezek, 2008) observe that the use of new technologies is contributing to the rapid changes schools are facing. The investment and expectations in new technologies for teaching and learning are high and the challenges for teachers are numerous and complex. Teachers are not only expected to keep up with new technologies but also to integrate IT into their curricula and classroom practices to equip students with the skills of the information age.
