Abstract
Even though you as teachers embrace technology to enhance your classroom teaching, you are challenged to use ICT in your classrooms because it changes your teaching beyond the traditional mode (Kalogiannakis, 2010). Most traditional teaching tools are characterized by “specificity” and “stability” (Koehler & Mishra, 2009, p. 61); for example, pencils for writing (which has not changed over time), the microscope for viewing objects too small for the naked eye, and the whiteboard/chalkboard for imparting information to learners.
