TeacherThe roles of teachers have changed and continue to change from that of instructors to that of constructors, facilitators, coaches, and creators of learning environments.

Reasons why the teacher’s role must change:• ICT will cause certain existing resources to become

obsolete. • ICT may make some assessment methods redundant.

“To promote significant learning, teacher should use a lot of examples and require active participation of the learner”

How can ICT help teachers in this task?

They allow to make more colorful, interactive and interesting classes for the students.

learning though computers.- It decreases memorization and rote

learners.- ICT take place to the interaction and

cooperation among students, teachers and own experiences of where they are.

The teachers are called for a redefinition of their profession.
