Introduction Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are significant to the changes taking place all over the world. The South African governments primary objective is to improve the education of its citizens. In the year 2000 the Website government rolled out the implementation of ICT into schools as the way of improving the culture of teaching and learning in schools.
