Rapid development in technology affects education greatly. Thus teachers are required to have some skills that must be mastered, so that education can prepare students to master these skills in order to become a successful person in life. The essential skills of the 21st century should include skills for living in the world, the ability to access and analyze information, the ability to take advantage of new media and technologies in their learning, combining technology with pedagogy. This study reviews and evaluates the results of empirical research on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in terms of research results, and how to utilize Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in learning. This study used a literature approach critically to primary scientific reports as a source of data. The results showed that ICT is a technology that stores, produces, and processes and disseminates information. ICT is used to describe interesting and innovative ways to provide lifelong learning with global access to information, learning and support. ICT gives influence to motivation, interest, learning activity, learning result and learning achievement. On the other hand learning using ICT is also more effective and efficient. It can be learned anytime and anywhere and makes learning more attractive. ICT can be applied innovatively at all stages of teaching and learning activities as of making lesson plans, preparing materials, presenting materials, implementing lessons, and evaluating. The implementation of ICT in learning can be grouped into two categories namely: a) ICT as supporting tools and b) ICT as a teaching-learning model (learning with ICT).
