Be it school education, higher education, or teacher education, the use of ICT in classroom teaching cannot be undermined. Learning through smart boards, laptops, computers, and mobile phones has become a latest trend in the educational world today. In this changing world, the teachers need to be well equipped with the changes taking place in the world around. Although teachers usually appreciate the benefits of ICT in the teaching–learning process, they are the ones facing the most challenges in dealing with it. No doubt the use of ICT in education has become an important area; there are still so many hurdles and challenges that are being faced. This chapter highlights the common challenges faced by the educators while attempting to integrate ICT in the classroom teaching, and also offers certain possible solutions to these problems.
