The use of technology and equipment particularly, the modern ones are very essential tools in everyone’s progress. We are now approaching in the modern times where everything and information can be seen in just one click in the computer.

                        Information technology is one of those modern tools which everyone can use, especially in education. These tools are very important in the students and teacher’s life as well because this lead to the broader knowledge. It has the capacity to impart learning and enhance various skills in a novel way. Information technology or IT is being applied in increasingly more areas of human affairs; the technology is continuously being improved, and more and more people gain access to its many forms and functions everyday. This is why we see information technology as a means to be globally competitive in improving our people. With the integration of computer education into our learning system we see a tremendous expansion of the horizon of human knowledge and higher efficiencies in many of the things that we do. Integrating technology into education can be challenging, frustrating and expensive. New technology is so irresistible that it’s not only enterable in all subject areas but it can also change the teaching method of all disciplines.

                        Technology in and of itself is not the determining factor in effective education. The important issue is what is done with the technology, the instructional methods must be based in sound principles. There is also evidence that the teacher is a variable in the effectiveness of the computers. As technology continues to advance, we must learn to use it wisely to motivate, instruct and challenge students.
