1.1 Introduction
Research in the past decade has shown that computer technology is an effective
means for widening educational opportunities, but most teachers neither use technology
as an instructional delivery system nor integrate technology into their curriculum, (Bauer
and Kenton 2005). The study found that the teachers were highly educated and skilled
with technology, were innovative and adept at overcoming obstacles, but that they did
not integrate technology on a consistent basis as both a teaching and learning tool.
The main focus of this study is on the perceptions of educational practitioners (at
the lower secondary level) regarding obstacles that seriously impede the realization of
ICT-related goals of schools. The results are from a worldwide survey among national
summary of the design of this project, a review of main indicators regarding ICT
schools, main obstacles and an exploration of the co-variation between obstacles and
in educational institutions. This research study sheds light on the use of ICT tools in
variables which affect the success of the implementation of the use of these tools,
Further difficulty with the introduction of the computer into the classroom was that
teachers did not fully understand the role computers should play and often felt
threatened with the possibility of being replaced by them. Two key issues were that their
students did not have enough time at computers, and that teachers needed extra planning
Lastly the survey research has reported that most teachers have positive attitudes
toward the use of technology in the classroom despite lacking confidence in their
abilities with computer technology. Moreover, schools and teacher education programs
are looking for effective models from teachers who have successfully integrated
computer technology into their instruction, (Hardy, Bauer and Kenton 2005).
Many teachers have come to appreciate the limitless possibilities that web sites and
creative software can add to their traditional classroom teaching methods. It is much
easier to search for fresh ideas by surfing the Web than by poring over text based
The purpose of this study was to examine the teaching practices of 30 teachers who
used computer technology in their instruction, both as a teaching and learning tool, and
to identify the obstacles they overcame in the process. Participant teachers were
profiled, major issues and concerns that they encountered were reported, and the overall

level of technology integration in their teaching practice was reported, ( Bauer and
Kenton 2005).
This study examines the difficulties that select tech-savvy teachers have had to
overcome in order to use computer technology (CT) in the classroom by both teachers
and students. In doing so, this study brings into question the status of actual integration
of technology into their schools. The initials CT are used in this study rather than simply
technology, which has other connotations, or IT, which can stand for either instructional
or information technology.
