Communication, defined as the transmission of information, is at the core of using technology effectively in education. Technology, which applies knowledge to practical purposes, has transformed various sectors and everyday life. Information and communication technology (ICT) has revolutionized education by increasing student motivation, providing interactive learning methods, and enabling rapid knowledge transfer. However, challenges such as distractions from technology, high costs, and the need for access to technology at home remain obstacles in utilizing ICT effectively in education.
