Information and Communication Technology (ICT) – is a technology that deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information. It has a significant effect on the way people live, work, play worldwide. It can also provide instant access to a vast array of data, challenging assimilation and assessment skills. It is a rapid communication, plus increased access to IT in the home, at work, and in educational establishments, could mean that learning becomes a truly life long activity – an activity in which the pace of technological change forces constant evaluation of the learning process itself. It could also sensors for logging and handling data; mathematics uses IT in modelling, geometry, and algebra; in design and technology, computers contribute to the pre-manufacture stages; for modern languages, electronics communication give access to foreign broadcast and other materials; and in music. ICT has a huge importance to all the people, especially to the students because it can help the students to widen their knowledge globally. As technology provides easier access for students to material previously supplied by the teacher, it enhances the role of the teacher as manager of the learning process rather than sources of the content. Easier access for students to information, tutorials, and assessment, together with the use of IT tools such as word processors and spreadsheets, will help them more productively.
