WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE AN ICT STUDENT

            In this era of life, nearly all of us are experiencing and being benefited by products of high technology and modernized way of living. No doubt that if we are to compare our means of living today, ours is undeniably easier and productive than the life our ancestors had in the very first civilizations—and that is with the help of Technology.

            Because of the brilliant and genius personalities, the world of Internet and computers was introduced. When I first heard this, I thought it would be critical, confusing and tough to manipulate computers and surf the internet; but when I came across with Mr. Dave Fontejon, Mrs. Amelyn Abella and Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz here in Ilocos Sur National High School, this perception had changed. Being an ICT student is something to be proud of and thank of for it opens an opportunity for us to comprehend and analyze the worth of Internet and computers in lives of every person. But, what does it take to be an ICT student? Simply, you have to be responsible enough in using equipment like computers inside the computer room. This will measure if you have care and initiative in doing something even if the teacher didn’t assign such task to you. You should also engage yourself especially lending your ears to the teacher, whenever important lectures and discussions are going on. This important because whenever you’ll have hands-on-activities or any examination, you could easily recognize those terms and do the activity without any difficulty. You should not have to be selfish, instead helpful and approachable for others. Don’t ever be hesitate to share your knowledge and simple learning to others especially during activities wherein your classmate couldn’t hardly know what to do in these hands-on-activities. Last but not the least is to have worthy of respect and compliance to your teacher and even to your classmates because this will test your moral values if you are really to be respected too.

            Nevertheless, we should always keep on our minds and hearts the importance and limitations of technology, let us not be abusive of its uses. Let us use technology in proper way s with good intentions because an ICT student is responsible, educated and do have love and respect for the use of Technology. These are what it take to be an ICT student.
