To optimize ICT in SKI learning, adequate infrastructure, access to ICT, learning vision and the readiness of teachers and students to use it are needed. The use of ICT in SKI learning at MAN 1 Palu has several obstacles, namely: the availability of internet networks in madrasas, the internet network code (wifi) being closed (frequently changed), limited access distance, inaccurate reference sites, high costs to access the internet and there is a negative impact on its use. These obstacles can be resolved with the cooperation among the madrasa, teachers, and parents of students.

It is hoped that madrasas pay attention to and optimize the needs of students, primarily related to the internet network provided, so that students can access learning materials, data and information as learning resources other than in the library.
