Moreover, many people recognize ICTs as catalysts source for change; change in teaching methods, learning approaches, working conditions, handling and exchanging information, scientific research and in accessing information communication technologies. In this digital era, ICT use in the classroom is essential for giving teachers opportunities to learn and apply the vital 21st century skills. ICT improves teaching and learning and its significance for teachers in playing their role of creators of pedagogical environments. The present study was conducted on “Teacher’s perspectives towards integration of ICT in classrooms” with a sample size of 100 teachers. The data was collected on attitude of teachers about computer related practices and extent of ICT integration in classrooms by the teachers with the help of the questionnaire. Finding of the study depicts that majority of the teachers were having favorable attitude about ICT and they were inclined towards the integration of ICT in classrooms. Thus it may be concluded that ICT tools and facilities is one the main factors in success of technology-based teaching and learning. For the future studies, there is a need for consideration of other aspects of ICT integration in classrooms especially from management point of view in regard to strategic planning and policy making.
