What does it take to become an ICT Student?

From the Far East to the modernized Western Countries, computers are slowly penetrating the local scene as a vital object where we store our files, do our documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and get knowledge from.  Computers truly are significant tools in the development of our educational system and even our country.
So what is ICT? ICT or Information and Communications Technology in education deal with the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) within educational technology.
The main purpose of ICT in education means implementing of ICT equipment and tools in teaching and learning process as a media and methodology. The purpose of ICT in education is generally to familiarise students with the use and workings ofcomputers, and related social and ethical issues. ICT has also enabled learning through multiple intelligence as ICT has introduced learning through simulation games; this enables active learning through all senses.
To become an ICT student, of course a person must simply know how to start, operate and use a computer. One must also be able to familiarize thyself to the ever advancing technologies of our current world. To be an ICT student one must always be open to change and learning something new. A student must also learn to communicate through speaking, listening and writing (through blogs) to be able to fully utilize the amazing things that ICT can do for each person.
Furthermore, a student must be optimistic about the things happening around him. Optimism greatly enhances the learning ability and the spectrum of knowledge that a student can gain through ICT. Being optimistic let's us overcome hard tasks that we have to tackle such as new lessons, projects, assignments and activities that we can truly say are above average when it comes to their hardness.
One must also be patient. As they say, patience is a virtue. Having patience can greatly enhance the chance of a person to succeed in his goals. Again, this helps in the learning ability of a student in ICT. There will always come a time wherein we need to truly study and comprehend a lesson or an activity. To fully understand this activity one must have the patience to study, try and practice this activity to enhance his knowledge in that given field.
So are you ready to become an ICT student? Do you have what it takes? Only you can know... :)
