Technological advances in the world have revolutionized our society but schools are yet to fully incorporate information and communication technology (ICT) based teaching and learning activities for our students who are the future of the nation. Adapting with the current digital era has become the necessity of the hour. It is essential to understand the significant contribution ICT based instructions in the classroom can make a huge impact for the progress of the nation. But, before we understand the need of ICT based instructions in the classroom it is important to understand the challenges that a teacher has to face for the implementation of ICT based instructions in the classroom. Also, it would be highly beneficial if the pre-service teacher education programme incorporates and encourages the prospective teachers to use ICT tools for the teaching and learning process. From the literature review some of the key challenges like lack of knowledge about ICT tools, resistance to change and lack of teachers’ competency has been identified. Not only challenges but also some of the benefits of using ICT tools in the teaching learning process have been identified such as enhanced job performance, sustaining the interest of the learners, motivating learners to use ICT and developing a positive attitude towards using ICT.
