INTRODUCTION
The present Technological century is the age of using ICT in Teaching – Learning process. The Teacher and Learner must gain access to technology for improving learning outcomes. Educational reforms include successful designing and implementing of ICT in the teaching-learning process, which is the key to success. ICT is an important instrument, which can transfer the present isolated, teacher-centered, book-centered learning environment into a rich student-centered environment. This new learning environment developed by the ICT is called Interactive learning environment. ICT is a new teaching-learning process. ICT aims at transferring the old traditional paradigm of learning to the new paradigm of learning.
INTEGRATING ICT INTO CLASSROOM TEACHING
Integrating ICT into classroom teaching is perhaps one of the greatest challenges facing education today. Supply of ICT into classrooms has increased enormously in the last few years and now interactive whiteboards are common place. ICT integration into the classroom offers unique new levels of individual, child specific teaching, accurate assessment and perhaps best of all saves time.

ICT has transformed education. Indeed, what we are witnessing is a revolution of education. Schools / Colleges in India are trying to join in the revolution. Many schools are attempting to achieve functionality and excellence along the standards set by international trends. Some believe that ICT provides global marketing opportunities. Others believe that ICT helps students broaden their knowledge base. Whatever the belief, the utilization of ICT in India to date has mainly focused on learning about hardware and different software packages. Not many schools focus on implementing ICT to truly benefit student learning. While some have tried to implement various ICT strategies, they now face the challenge of implementing them effectively.
