can be felt in education. Modern technology in education (Beringer, 2009). According to the
new research into the precise use of technology by contemporary students today and how
their learning has a negative impact when using technology, the use of modern equipment and
software, learning and contact between students has become increasingly evident (Bounds,
2010). They find it much more interactive and with technology help, as well as a lot of
interesting fields. What this means is, that our minds now tend to work faster when assisted
with the use of modern technology, be it any part of life, here we talk about education. The
reliance and dependence of such an innovation, that simply makes life an easy, smooth
journey is completely unavoidable these days even in schools, universities and colleges.
Students today can make use of technology in the following ways (Bransford, Brown, &

Jung talks about the huge challenges that teachers face in our society as knowledge is
rapidly expanding. Modern technologies allow teachers to know how these technology are to
be used in their schooling. Gressard and Loyd (1985) confirmed that, it raises teacher training
demands with these new technologies. Instructor machine behaviors are key to the success of
ICT implementation in school. They found out that teachers do not always have positive
views about technology and their negative attitudes will contribute to computer based tasks
becoming ineffective.
In educational context, ICT has the potential to increase access to education and
improve its relevance and quality. Tinio (2002) stated that, ICT has a tremendous impact on
