A variety of information and communication technology (ICT) can facilitate not only delivery of instruction, but also learning process itself. Moreover, ICT can promote international collaboration and networking in education and professional development. There's a range of ICT options - from videoconferencing through multimedia delivery to web sites - which can be used to meet the challenges teachers face today. ICT is opening new doors to corporate for more flexible and responsible learning and performance solutions. In fact, there has been increasing evidence that ICT may be able to provide more flexible and effective ways for lifelong professional development for today's teachers. This paper introduces a variety of cases where innovative approaches for ICT integration in teacher training have been observed. The training approaches identified in a variety of cases are grouped into four main categories : 1) applications of ICT use as the training content, 2) ICT as a part of teaching methodology, 3) ICT as a core technology for teacher training, and 4) ICT as a means to facilitate professional development and networking. A final section provides a conclusion of this paper by offering some of the implications and challenges for ICT teacher training.
