The initiatives of the Indian government towards encouraging integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in classroom teaching has made its way to the school system to a great extent. But, has the initiative added value to the teaching learning process in the true sense and are teacher education programmes responsive to these requirements is a question that draws attention to the issues of integrating ICT in classroom teaching. The present paper seeks to study the teachers' and teacher educators' ICT competencies and ICT integrated teaching practices prior to enrolling in the course 'ICT and Education', the experiences they encounter during the course of training, their reflections through their training sessions and their overall perceptions about ICT in the course of training and in general. The key findings demonstrate the opportunities and challenges faced by teachers and teacher educators in using ICT for teaching in classrooms. This paper concludes with suggestions to policy makers and institution heads to include effective practices as a result of the meaningful integration of ICT in the classrooms.
