The data collected were analysed using simple percentages mean and standard deviation. The study revealed that teachers were aware of the effectiveness of technology tools and their benefits in enhancing students’ performance and teaching and learning but most of the teachers lacked the technical know-how of the use, hence they were not fully utilised.
