Adriana Nicu (Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-5085-3.ch013
Abstract
In order to train future teachers, it is necessary for their trainers to master ICT knowledge and skills and to be convinced that the online environment is a chance for intellectual and social development. Students are influenced in their future teaching career by the way they are trained in digital technologies. Most studies about online learning come from teachers and express their position. Initiating teachers in Romania to integrate ICT into teaching needs the existing models in the world as guidance, keeping regional economic, financial, and cultural particularities in mind.

Interpreting and analyzing the results is just one piece of a puzzle regarding the integration of new technologies into teaching.
