The results above show that only 9 (7.5%) teachers were knowledgeable and skilled in
computer aided instruction. Seventy (58%) teachers indicated that they had knowledge of the
word processing software while a majority of 95(79%) lacked knowledge and skills of
presentation software. Results of the present study contrast those by Lau and Sim (2008) who
found out that teachers considered themselves to be more competent, either excellent or good
in the use of presentation tools.
The use of spread sheets was a familiar operation for only 52(43%) while the Internet and
Email skills and knowledge accounted for 45 (37.5%) and 55 (46%) respectively. Contrary to
the situation obtaining in the district under study, in most industrialized countries, schools
have for a long time had access to the Internet (Russell and Bradley, 1997). Basically,
indications are that the teachers lacked the necessary skills and knowledge of computers and
related technology
