This article draws on cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) and explores ways of using information and communication technology (ICT) tools in pre-service teacher education to enhance and mediate the construction of metaphors of teaching and learning. The data include Singaporean pre-service teachers’ ICT-mediated teaching metaphors and online messages. The qualitative analysis reveals that ICT-mediated metaphors provide a unique opportunity for pre-service teachers to interact with teacher educators and peers and it empowers them to reflect on the teaching and learning process critically.
