ICT for Meaningful Learning

Technology has made vast progress for the last decade. Just 10 years back then, I got my first phone Nokia model 3310. I'm quite sure most of you, my fellow classmates, have gone through this phase as well. I believe that was the time which the phenomenon of possessing cellphones started. Now everybody carries a phone in his or her hands, obsoleting the long forgotten beeping device that was once popular before - pager.
The human race is constantly searching for better and more efficient ways to communicate amongst each other. One of the reason might be that subconsciously, most of us do not want to be deem as 'obsoleted beings'.

I can't say I'm a techno-savvy person as I don't see myself using computers unless necessary. Therefore, I'm thankful that I'm able to attend this course which allows me to update and upgrade myself. So far, I find the first lesson very informative and even fascinating.
One aspect of 'fascination' comes from encountering new devices/gadgets - the smart board. Regardless of the fact that it erases extremely slowly, it is a convenient and effective tool in that particular classroom environment.

Lastly, I sincerely hope that I'll be able to bring my experience of meaningful learning through technology away from this class to my future classes. Furthermore, make the future generations see the advantages of using ICT to help them acquire knowledge.
