Abstract

Not very long ago, about fifteen years or so ago, just talking about the use of computers and information and communication technology (ICT) in education would make many teachers feel uncomfortable. Many feared these machines would replace them, and others believed they would mechanise human thought and relationships. Today, the situation is somewhat different and, some teachers are more enthusiastic than others. The current problem isn't the introduction of ICT in schools but how and for what purpose. We all know that a great number of teacher training schools, and also some primary and secondary schools, still don't use information and communication technology. There is no need to mention some causes because we all can think of some.The main problem is not to find answers to the how’s but to find reasons to justify the use of ICT. Reasons that provide a good purpose for our efforts to learn as well as to use them in our daily personal and professional lives. As we all have surely noticed, new technology, as any other technology, bring new problems while little contributing to solving the old problems. Why? As they have appeared in answer too new economic and social needs, they demand new infrastructures,
