Information technology (IT) or '''Information and communication(s) technology''' (ICT) (also '''Infocomm''', esp. in Asia ) is a broad subject concerned with Technology and other aspects of Managing And Processing Information , especially in large Organization s. In particular, IT deals with the use of Electronic Computer s and Computer Software to Convert , Store , Protect , Process , Transmit , and retrieve Information . For that reason, computer professionals are often called IT specialists, 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 Service s (IS) or Management Information Service s (MIS), Managed Service Provider s (MSP). In the UK 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 IT (Information Technology) to ICT (Information and Communication Technology). 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. Topics
