We all know that computer is a teaching tool for information and communication technology. According to Lucido, (2007), the advent of the computer is recognized as the third revolution in education. The first was invented by the printing press; the second was the introduction of libraries; and the third was the invention of the computer, especially so with the advent of the microcomputer in 1975. With these, the advent of computer technology has emerged in education.

                A good example of this ICT in education is the computer-assisted instruction (CAI). This was introduced using the principle of individualized learning through a positive climate that includes realism and appeal with drill exercises that uses color, music and animation.
