Generally, findings show that student teachers in different colleges perceive that there are benefits associated with the use of ICT in the learning process. Specifically, findings show that student teachers from Monduli (Mean = 4.76; SD = 0.435) and Patandi (Mean = 4.77; SD = 0.430) perceive that using ICT in learning improves flexibility in carrying out tasks, ICT use in class motivates the tendency to continue using ICT outside college hours (Patandi: Mean = 4.50; SD = 0.731) and Monduli: Mean = 4.57; SD = 0.728). significantly reduce learning costs (Monduli: Mean = 4.30; SD = 0.988) and Patandi: Mean = 4.33; SD = 0.994). On the other hand, findings indicate that student teachers from Mandaka and Marangu colleges perceive the benefits of using ICT in the learning process as the least. However, majority of student teachers in all the four colleges (i.e. Monduli,
