Abstract

Teachers continue to be trained following a ritualized approach for skills and competences. But, a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts, improvement of problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills and even the development of a contextual intuition can be even more important in becoming computer-using professionals. These factors as well as teachers’ personal and professional adoption and personal commitment to a computing life-style can be critical prerequisites for achieving technological integration in tomorrow’s school classrooms.
