Introduction
The new generation with new demands and new requirements along with a new curriculum that is complimented with a new approach. The techno age is the generation that one is referring to. The techno age is the age whereby the curriculum is no longer completed in the old and rather outgrown way of writing on the chalkboard. This method is not only time consuming, but poses challenges when coming to the use of time and also legibility of the teachers writing. The curriculum with the above mentioned generation will be a technological approach which is popularly known as the Information Communication Technology (ICT) which is the combination of Information Technology (IT) and Communications Technology (CT). Information Technology is characterized by wireless mobility, multimedia devices, interoperability, peer-produced information and an expectation of abundant access to powerful computing resources (Aksoy & DeNardis, 2008). Computer Technology (CT) is then the study of the hardware and software. With the implementation of ICT, South African public schools are delayed with fully meeting the mission and vision of the written out white document regarding ICT which will be discussed further on within the five year plan of the school In succinct terms ICT is there to enhance teaching and learning and to further make the content authentic to the learners, moreover one may also use it to enhance the learners arithmetic, reading and comprehension skills by making use of
learners will find it very difficult to succeed in education, work and life without a solid grounding in basic level of English, maths and ICT skills. The ability to communicate easily with others, read and even understand information, maths is in everyday of our life to solve problems and use a range of current information. ICT is very important in any educational course or job that the learner might want to into. For example in a hair and beauty salon we use chemicals and product to do a clients hair we have to make sure that everything measure properly as it could result in uneven colour or over use of
Having the ICT technology in schools it encourages the pupils to access a wide range of information and communication opportunities and enables pupils to store and retrieve, draft and redraft, test and analyse. This develops there learning skills that are required for the National Curriculum. These skills include: Communication skills, problem-solving, investigating, evaluating and analysing and critical
Information communication technology (ICT) helps to learn theoretic development discoveries, treatment and support techniques for education and curriculum. It gives teachers, higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) and children access to educational resources from around the globe anytime and day. While using ICT, children learn concepts, history, ideas, theories and practices across culture when it is use in their classroom. HLTA and teachers however have to know how and why they are using ICT and incorporate the concepts in: social responsibility, creativity, communication, culture sensitivity, decision making technology application and usage. According to Andrews et al. (2006, p.5) “ICT has been defined as including stand-alone computers, networked technologies with a multimodal interface, mobile phones with the capacity for a range of types of communication, and other technologies that allow multimodal and interactive communication.”
Education is among the sectors that have benefited the most from the advent of modern technology, and especially information and communication technology (ICT). Traditional education systems faced many challenges and huge limitations at delivery, in practice, and in application. Tools of education such as chalk, blackboard, books, classrooms, laboratory items, and so on, were mostly manual and cumbersome. Even the structure of the traditional literature content, and pedagogy was a challenge to both the teacher and the learner.

Using technology in the classroom is a sensitive issue. It is the teacher?s responsibility to
Technology has turned into a paramount piece of our lives these days. Amid the recent years, technology has advanced from various perspectives and is likely in actuality better than anyone might have expected sometime recently. Individuals are continually attempting to discover something new that will enhance our lives significantly. In this paper; I will discuss the facts about the advantages of usage of technology in schools; how our education system is getting benefits from use of advance technologies and what possible future aspects are in this regard.
Today’s education differs much from the education fifty years ago. One of the reasons they are so different is because of technology. In the past fifty years the world of technology has grown tremendously, affecting everything, including education. A few things that have been brought into the world of education are computers, video and digital equipment such as DVDs, digital cameras and recording devices. The technology also includes information presentation technologies which includes the Smart Board, and different interactive whiteboards. There are many more that schools did not have fifty years ago.
Technology affects every aspect of our lives. From romance to business, it has shown its presence everywhere. But technology has had a huge impact on education that cannot be denied, and has done nothing but improve the quality and quantity of education.
For the majority of people, it is difficult to imagine what life would be like without the internet. The world of education has also undergone tremendous change since the advent of the internet. It allows students to quickly obtain a vast amount of information on every subject. They also get the convenience of going to class and completing assignments, permitting them to schedule their time with great flexibility. The internet has become one of the easiest, fastest and most effective tools that can be used to explore and comprehend more about the world; however, it is not without problems. The uses of the internet by students changes their thinking patterns, distracts their attention and reduces their interpersonal skills.
Information technology is a rapidly growing part of today's society. It affects everyone's life in many aspects. Every human endeavor is influenced by information technology and the increasing rate at which what it can perform includes. One area of human endeavor that information technology has greatly influenced is the practice of medicine, specifically veterinary medicine. Not only has veterinary medicine been influenced by information technology, it has also been enhanced by it. The degree to which the practice of veterinary medicine includes information technology is observable at the Animal Emergency Clinic of Central New York on Erie Blvd. in Syracuse, New York.
The present era has progressed not only in terms of education but also in the department of information technology. People usually resort into using technology for a faster way of communication, to progress in work and in education. Some colleges and universities have implemented the different kinds of technology for purposes of developing a student’s skills and abilities. “Technology is seen in several forms from the simple functions of a calculator used in mathematics to the most complicated computers and technological gadgets” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 07). However, alongside the positive advantages of technology and advanced computer system, there is also a negative side or disadvantages causing problems that need to be solved. While the “ideal goal for educators is to implement technology in the classroom and see definite positive affects on student achievement” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 09). We are living in a world filled with high tech gadgets in the current time like ipads, social media such as twitter, facebook, tumbr and google.
Change is constant. Though one may not be able to see the change, one can look back through the course of a year or maybe even a few months and see the change. Technology has transformed with our culture. There are many benefits for students with the new advancements of technology.
Education is one of the most important professions in the working world. Technology has done many things for us in today’s society especially for education and schools. Technology in the school system has impacted the students and teachers in many positive ways, including virtual field trips, testing tips, teacher resources, class web sites, and lesson plans. With computer use in our schools, we have access to many different sources and various types of learning.
Research over the past 40 years has shown conclusively that technology-based methods are usually superior to traditional ones.
