The Use of ICT
ICT is widely used in every aspect of everybody’s life. The main two
categories of the uses of ICT are at school and at home. The ways I
use ICT in school is mostly in my ICT and Business studies lessons. I
use the Internet and programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint, word,
publisher, excel and access. The ICT I use at home are computer for
entertainment and educational purposes, playstation, Playstation
portable, DVD and mobile phone.

and interactive white boards. These are mainly in the ICT and maths
rooms. These help my educational progression because the teacher can
show the class examples of the aspects of the subject what the class
doesn’t understand.

Besides than that, In the 21st century has brought the information era, where it is continuing with the rapid pace computerized system being used in all types of sector, from medical and space exploration to education, such as banking and manufacturing sectors. The demand of Information Technology (IT) was increased due to the usage and development of many types of complex systems. According to Senn (1998), there are six features where to differentiate the information era from the Agricultural era and Industrial era:
it’ not only is this specific to ICT but it can be used as cross

It can help also students to get knowledge in a fast way, with reducing the big number of instruction given to them. In this sense, ICT can also be an assistance in student learning .According to Grabe & Grabe (2007, p 236) ICT can have a role in student skills, motivation and knowledge; they claim that ICT can helps the students in presenting information and completing learning tasks (ac cited in Bingimals
ICT have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally transformed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of exertion within business and governance.

Computers and the technology today allow people to receive any type of information in the world right at their fingertips. With all the written information that is in libraries, it seems as though people just skip right over that and head straight for the computer. Itðs as thought they feel that the computer does all the work for them and finds all the information that they need.
