Abstract: This research addressed the need for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration in teaching and learning of undergraduate Chemistry education courses. The research identified the rationales for integrating ICT in the teaching of undergraduate Chemistry education courses. The need for Chemistry educators to use information and communication technology for teaching was explored in this research. Given that the significance of ICT cannot be overemphasized, especially in the transfer of knowledge to Chemistry students, Chemistry educator’s ICT skills should be improved through exposure to in-service training on ICT utilization. Overall, government at all levels should show concern to Chemistry education departments in educational institutions by providing ICT infrastructure, training as well as providing an enabling environment for its utilization. On the other hand, educational agencies should compliment Chemistry educator’s efforts in making teaching and learning interesting and motivating through ICT facilities provision.
