Program Your Mind With ICT

It has been two months when I entered the last chapter of my high school life, the senior life. This is another year for learning and discovering new things. It seems to be exciting since there is a subject, ICT (Information and Communication Technology), which will furnish us more stuff on the internet.
Before I will tell something about this subject, I want to tell you a story. When I was in my elementary years, my father introduced to me a gadget. It is called a hand-held radio. Maybe you know it; the more popular term is “walkie-talkie.” I got interested into this device. This device works like a mobile phone, it needs a signal. I earned many friends because many knew that I was a child and this gadget was used commonly by adults. My call name on-air is “internet.” So, the word “internet” has been familiar to me since my childhood years. However, I really do not know what this is until I reached high school.
So, now. . .
First, of course, during the first quarter of the school year, our teacher gave grounding on the history of internet. Wow! I learned how internet went through many processes before it spread around the world. I also knew that internet was used before just in military. But then, many countries got wired just like here in the Philippines that wired-up on it on 1994. Many used it as a means of communication, used for searches or researches, and others, and even now, internet is used in this ways. I also learned blogging. And you know what? This topic really grabbed my attention because I have been hungry for discovering new ways of expressing my ideas through internet.
I had just encountered two problems during the first quarter. Firstly, during hand-outs, it is so hard to connect on the internet. This is a laborious thing! Instead of finishing my work before the bell rings, I had to continue the next day. But, anyway, I believe that I can adapt to this glitch as the time passes by. Lastly, our teacher was very busy in the different obligations she has outside and inside the school. We did not have classes for several times. I could have learned more things. Nonetheless, I understand her. I wish that she won’t be that busy anymore the next quarter.
For the lessons we missed during the times that our teacher was not around, I just asked them at IV – Marconi, specifically to Ms. Samantha Gloria M. Singson. Thank you Sam!
Moving on, I will be having advanced readings for the topics we will tackle so that I won’t be hard up in encountering such problems. I will have also to focus more on ICT because it will surely help me in the future.
