Teacher training is an important activity as the result affects the quality of teaching. Quality teaching has the ability to change the whole nation in a positive way. With the advent of computers and allied technology, there is even more opportunity for teacher education to grow and improve. But in order to make use of this technology, teachers themselves have to be acquainted with and be able to deal with it. The present study was undertaken so as to find out the extent of teacher trainees’ understanding of digital technology. For this, two teacher training institutes were selected, Aizawl and Sechhip DIETS to be exact. It was found that teacher trainees had a rather low competence towards technology. It was also found that those who had low competence also had a negative attitude towards technology.
