INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
For the objectives of teaching/learning to
be attained or achieved, there must/should be an effective way of
communication. One would say that from the beginning of creation man have tried
in several ways of pass on information to his fellowmen, over the years, this

point of view of channel transmission, it means channeling (passing)
information through given gadgets (means) to its destination. This explains why
we have media communication and companies that exist for the purpose, which
involves the invention of radio, public address system, television, computer,
projectors, and internet e.t.c. that have all influence the effectiveness of
the teaching and learning process.
The issue of modern communication gadgets in teaching and learning activities
