Abstract
The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in education is a worthwhile experience. Whereas older technologies have rich instructional history, this study focuses on newer ICT for teaching and learning. This study sought to establish factors that influenced champions and teachers they trained in a championship programme towards ICT integration in teaching and learning. The programme was a stimulus government undertaking in secondary schools, expected to have a good measure of spillover effect towards achieving Kenya’s vision 2030. The study was descriptive and used quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings of this study indicate that adequate training is an important factor towards ICT integration in teaching and learning. It also found that teacher characteristics and dispositions can make or break a venture such as the championship programme. Championship is a time consuming activity. The ICT champions were full time in-service teachers. This study saw that it was necessary to have relieved such champions of their duties to ensure successful implementation of the championship programme. It was necessary to support teachers in ICT integration after the championship programme to ensure the spillover effect takes place.
