Abstract

To keep abreast of the fast changing pace of time is one of the primary imperative necessities of every teacher for not turning to be either obsolete or redundant. In the present digital divide, the use of ICTs opens up multiplicity of possibilities and the role of the teacher from conventional mantle exacts symmetrical transformations. In this context the present article undertakes to investigate how the digital portfolio posits challenges to a teacher and how befittingly should the teacher customize and transpose himself from the conventional teacher’s role to that of an educator.
