Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge level, attitude towards the use of ICT in teaching-learning and obstacles faced by the in-service teachers in secondary schools. A survey was conducted involving all 50 teachers in a secondary school in the state of Penang. The study informed the researchers that teachers were comfortable with the use of certain applications such as spreadsheet, presentation software, internet and e-mail. The respondents demonstrated a positive attitude towards using ICT as majority of them used ICT for teaching and learning and felt that the connected classrooms can change the way students learn in classrooms. The study also proved that a connected classroom can be effective for students’ learning to happen. It was also found that the attitudes of teachers on use of ICT vary with their years of experience and level of knowledge on ICT.
