'''Information technology''' ('''IT''')<ref name="Explanation">Information Technology is also known as '''Information and Communication(s) Technology''' ('''ICT''') and '''Infocomm''' in Asia.</ref> is a broad subject concerned with [[technology]] and other aspects of [[information processing|managing and processing information]], especially in large [[organization]]s.
 
 
In particular, IT deals with the use of [[electronics|electronic]] [[computer]]s and [[computer software]] to convert, store, protect, process, [[Transmission (telecommunications)|transmit]], and retrieve [[information]]. For that reason, computer professionals are often called '''IT specialists or Business Process Consultants''', and the division of a company or university that deals with software technology is often called the '''IT department'''. Other names for the latter are [[information systems|information service]]s (IS) or [[management information system|management information service]]s (MIS), [[managed service provider]]s (MSP).
 
 
In the United Kingdom education system, information technology was formally integrated into the school curriculum when the [[National Curriculum]] was devised. It was quickly realised that the work covered was useful in all subjects. With the arrival of the Internet and the broadband connections to all schools, the application of IT knowledge, skills and understanding in all subjects became a reality. This change in emphasis has resulted in a change of name from Information Technology (IT) to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). [[ICT (education)|ICT in Education]] can be understood as the application of digital equipment to all aspects of teaching and learning. It is present in almost all schools and is of growing influence.
 
 
The growth of use of Information Communication Technology and its tools in the field of Education has seen tremendous growth in the recent past. Technology has entered the classroom in a big way, to become part of a teaching learning process.
