Keywords: Classroom Management, Information Technology, E-learning Introduction The development of Science and Technology (Science and Technology) in the current era of globalization has evolved. The science and technology development occurs in a variety of fields, one field of education, namely with the advent of advanced technology equipment that can improve the achievement of learners to deal with global competition. One way to improve the achievement of learners can be done through effective classroom management. An educator must have the skills to manage class.

Options - available technology options that can be accessed for the teacher provided enough variety. In essence, all of it can be used as an attempt to improve the activity and creativity of learning ". In the description educators should take advantage of information technology to support learning. The presence of information technology can enhance teaching and learning activities in class. Their learning much more dynamic information technology by making use of the media as a source of learning. Besides, with the presence of information technology can shift people's paradigm shift from the traditional education system education system based cyber learning. In this case the conventional learning will be developed into an online learning by using e-learning. With the presence of e-learning is the learning process is not limited to space and time can be accesse d anywhere and anytime. harnessing device with Laptop, PC, Smartphone and others connected to the Internet network.

Anglin 3 , defines the technology is the application of the behavioral sciences and other natural and applying knowledge and to solve the various problems faced by humans. Development of Information Technology many side benefits but there is also a downside. For that before the implementation of Information Technology-based learning learners should be given a basic understanding of the nature and impact of information technology development. According to Sukiono for managing the Information Technology -based classes there are three basic components that must be prepared, including infrastructure, human resources as well as the content or application 4 . a. Infrastructure Development of Information Technology infrastructure in Indonesia beginning in 1995 and began growing IT Center since 2000. The network infrastructure used is a 3 Umi Syafi fah B alqis, 2009.

By using WAN and the Internet is expected to facilitate the flow of communication and optimize data acces s and information among educational workers so that data and information is more optimal, smooth, effective and efficient. b. Human Resources HR development which will support the implementation of ICT-based learning has been carried out from 1999 through socialization. Since then a lot of training of ICT such as Internet training, vocational IT,Networking, multimedia training, computer skills and information management to Java Education National Network as well as training Jardiknas. It has also prepared a formal education to increase the competence of teachers. c. Content and Applications E-Learning E-learning is literally an acronym of E & Learning.

Along with the rapid development of information technology educators should be able to develop a method of teaching. Many institutions evaluated conventional learning systems into modern learning. One method used is the use of e-learning in the learning process. Many of the advantages offered by using e-learning, but also there are weaknesses in the use of e- learning. With the development of information technology learning is not limited to space and time, can be done at home, at school and anywhere with the help of an internet connec tion.
