effectively and efficiently. The function of ICT in education is as a source of learning,
learning aids, learning facilities, Standard competence, administration system, decision

educational activity. A number of studies show that a relationship between effective
management and quality schools, or in other words, management, can make the difference

the administrator are planning, organizing, leadership and controlling, so that the integration
of ICT in schools can actually achieve the goals that have been defined together. Schoolbased
school management proved more effective because school administrators take over

own educational institutions. Furthermore, the role of administrators in the information
technology integration is very important especially in Indonesia which is still in the replicate
level, new settings, and adjustment, like the use of technology into learning
