Off to a Strong Start

What are the learning/discoveries that I have gained?

As I mentioned in the letter from my previous blog, Information and Communication Technology was one of the subjects I used to find tedious. I often lacked interest in the topics discussed during the ICT period, maybe because I tend to think that the lessons have no practical use and value in one's daily activities or simply because I'm not tech-savvy. 

Newsflash: I was wrong, very wrong. 

The first thing I discovered is, as it turns out (and surprisingly so), our topics have practical use and value in one's day-to-day routine, especially this quarter's topic. Its main focus was on one of the most widely-used forms of technology society uses today, the Internet. Within the span of a few months, I got to learn its origins and some of its fundamental concepts, such as its history, the people responsible for why the Internet is what it is right now, its benefits, uses, and plenty more. 

Also, not only have I gained textbook-based knowledge, but I also managed to discover ways to easier store and retain the information I learned from discussions. I got to experiment with different learning methods and techniques until I found one that worked efficiently, which drastically helped in improving my academic performance. 

A multitude of events happened this quarter. The experiences so far have been both educational and eye-opening, making me eager for what's in store for what's yet to come. This isn't the end, but it is only the beginning.
