Today we are living in an age of changes and these changes can be seen in every field of life and our education system is also not untouched with this change. But these changes are impossible without the change in technology. The technological development continually opening new possibilities and methods of learning. These technologies have no existence in absence of teacher in the education system and with the help of their support and positive attitude towards the use of various cyber resources we can prepare our students to face challenges of the 21st century. Since the students studying in B. Ed. courses are the ‘would be'teachers of future, it is high time for them to equip themselves with knowledge of better use of cyber resources. So, this study has been conducted to investigate the attitude of B. Ed. trainees towards the use of cyber resources. The survey method has been used in the present investigation. Simple random sampling technique has been adopted in the selection of the sample of 182 B. Ed. trainees studying in various teacher education colleges of Nainital district. The finding of the study revealed that the majority of B. Ed. students have neutral attitude towards using cyber resources. So it is suggested that B. Ed. trainees should be provided with proper computer training during the course and should be encouraged for more and more use of cyber resources.
