Abstract: 

This paper is based on a research project which provided an assessment of the value and contribution of the e-Learning Jamaica professional development training in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on teachers’ classroom practices. A questionnaire was used in a survey of teachers from ten schools in Kingston and St Andrew to investigate teachers’ rating of the e-Learning training and its influence on their classroom practices. The findings revealed that the majority of the teachers considered the training to be useful and felt that their classroom practices were enhanced. However, deeper analysis of the ways in which teachers reported that they were using ICT in their classrooms revealed that only a small percentage of these teachers were using technology in creative ways which did not reiterate traditional ‘chalk and talk’ methods in the classroom.
