It is true that both teachers and teacher educators need to embrace ICT in their teaching in this 21st century if actually we want to have a good positive change and so as to make both teaching and learning easy. Also, teachers need to seriously make their teachings impactful, that is pass knowledge, skills and values to students and try as much as possible to practicalize their teaching instead of making it theoretical. Furthermore, there should be creation of enabling environment for the learners, make the classroom as interactive as possible.

I agree Florence with what you say. Actually the critical thing is for us teacher Educators to focus on our training of the teachers. And as we train we need to be the role models in our pedagogy. Technology and more digital literacy is a crosscutting issue.

Patricia, I wholeheartedly agree with you when you say "we need to be the role models in our pedagogy". I would really contend that we are about enabling learners (at any level) to learn, and yes, "Technology and more digital literacy is a crosscutting issue", provided they enable our learners to learn better and they enable us to enable our learners to learn better. I would contend that our use of technology must be fit for purpose.

No doubt LCE is the way to go, but I will emphasize again that an enabling environment must be integrated into teaching and learning if this must the optimal achieved

I agree with you on the fact that there should be an enabled environment to allow for better learning and understanding.Teaching includes both the environment and some schools understood this early enough .Majority schools decorate the environment,plant trees and conducive classrooms or lecture rooms to facilitate teaching and understanding.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by an 'enabling environment'? How can teachers in a rural school for example create such an environment?

Yes, indeed, teachers should value the learners and appreciate them, because the aim of learning, focuses on them.
