This study explores ICT profiles of teacher educators to understand personal, pedagogical and organisational factors affecting technology use in teacher education. After delineating latent profiles based on survey data, 12 teacher educators were interviewed on technology integration in educational settings for a deeper insight. Based on the Synthesis of Qualitative Research model developed to outline strategies for preparing preservice teachers to integrate technology, findings revealed key issues including teacher educators' classroom stance as role models for effective technology use, importance of technological-pedagogical content knowledge in designing technology-enriched learning environments, peer collaboration and avoidance of using technology regardless of pedagogical concerns. Issues related to assessment, professional development, attitudes and ICT competency were raised. Findings are discussed considering potential consequences for current practices and areas of future research.
