ICT has never been my preferred
in the first semester of my college life. When I was first taken through the
mechanism of using VLE for the learning and having been introduced to it, I
instantly logged in and commenced reading the term plans of the modules. The
more I started reading the term plans, the more I was petrified when I reached
to the module called Functional Informational Technology (FIT 101). Because the
contents and the topics to be learned in the module was all inexperienced to me
and felt that I was going to have a hard time for it.
I entered at the
computer lab with the giant mountains of worries and felt like I was going for
a war. It was my first day at the computer lab. How should I handle the
computer that I have never touched once? How should I start the computer that I
have never started it once? I sensed that all my classmates were excited, they
commenced opening the computer and was fully engrossed in it, while I was in a
dumbfounded state and didn’t know what I should do. I realized I should do
something that I carefully observed how the computer has to be opened. Finally,
I could start the computer.
The module tutor took
us through the term plans which I was already introduced though I wasn’t sure
of what the content was about. The session was short. Since then, few of my friends were discussing
a lot about ‘YouTube’ and their face was filled with enchantment and optimism
when I was thinking and waiting to get out of the lab. In the end, the module
tutor instructed us to shut down the computers and that became another hurdle
for me because I didn’t know the way to do it. It blushed me with feelings of
embarrassment and downtrodden. On that day I contrite immensely of the time I wasted
during the NIIT classroom during my school days. And realized that why I didn’t
take the serious of NIIT learning? Why I didn’t take an opportunity to use a computer
in the school? Why I ignored the instruction of my teacher? Since then, I am
assured of the paramount roles of an individual to take the seriousness in
every learning agenda.
Now, I realize that ICT
is not the tool to make someone feel downtrodden and embarrassed. I have come
through the long journey from the first semester to the final semester and I am
proud to mention that I have learned profound, boundless, immeasurable related
to ICT from the time I didn’t know the way to start and shut down the computer.
ICT has given birth to my passion for writing, made work easier, comfortable, and
imperative tools for my part of learning.
its worth reading. i really enjoyed reading your reflection.
ReplyDeleteYour reflection was awesome where you have detaily explained the skills you achieved in using ICT. You have also compared how you felt in the first day seeing the VLE at college and how effective you have became now.
ReplyDeleteLooking back into how we came with an empty slate in ICT knowledge when we first came to this college, now we can proudly say that ICT made a difference in our life. I personally feel that your article is relevant to many of us. you clearly stated how ICT helped us grow into an advanced technology users. I liked every bit of your article.
