In Trinidad and Tobago, there is a thrust towards technology integration into the curriculum as a means of improving student achievement. The one to one computing model was adopted in 2010 and the initiative is currently in its fifth year. The research study sought to discover the teachers’ perspectives of the factors which supported their implementation of the initiative. Five teachers were chosen from secondary schools in Trinidad and Tobago. Data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews and an open-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that factors critical to successful implementation of the eCAL curriculum change initiative were teacherrelated (teacher belief, teacher collaboration and support); innovation-related (need and relative advantage), and contextual factors (availability and accessibility of technical resources and technical support, principal leadership and teacher training and professional development). It is hoped that the findings from this study would augment knowledge in the curriculum policy arena in the Trinidad and Tobago context.
