Below we can see in perspective the role of education technology in an effective school "".

Adequate Facilities
Schools of course need basic facilities including a Computer Laboratory and Library that is sufficiently stocked with books. All schools are responsible for teaching computer and Information Technology Skills (ICT). The study of technology is an important issue for all school levels in Indonesia because all students who leave school need computer skills. In Indonesia many students leave school after Junior High School and there are still many students who leave after Primary School therefore it is important that all school levels teach basic computer skills including primary schools.
The Government and School Principals are responsible for achieving the pre-requisites for effective learning mentioned above including computer laboratories, libraries, School Climate and Enabling Conditions.
Variety in Teaching Strategies
It is the Teachers' and Lecturers' responsibility to provide variety and creativity in teaching strategies. Educators must maximize their abilities and creativity in order to provide lesson plans and strategies that are both interesting and effective. A major issue in the planning of these effective strategies is that the learners are encouraged to be as active in the learning process as possible. Teachers and Lecturers can choose from all forms of learning support including models, audio-visual aids, and an array of technological tools.
An important issue when choosing technology as a learning tool is that you use it for the shortest duration practicable because many forms of technology like video and data projectors can make the role of the student very passive during the Learning / Teaching Process, and can create boredom if not used carefully.
