ICT as a source of information

First Reflection 
In this twenty-first century generation in the field of knowledge and computer-based society, information and communication technologies play an important role in the development of cognition of an individual and the source of inspiration to blooms the life through the path of positivity. We can view the world through technologies, hear about the world, read information about the world, and write about the world with the help of the ICT we are using. similarly, like the way technology shapes the habit and conduct for life, ICT has become my daily source of information.

With the integration of ICT, there are a lot of different opportunities that bring to us as students. In our classes, we can use our own laptops and mobiles that can put many files and other things that are very helpful in todays generation to take down notes and use it for online class activities. It makes our life easy and comfortable since we could get the information from everywhere. 

Through the integration of ICT, I learned how to use different techniques and applications that can be used in different opportunities. I found ICT is truly essential in our lives, we not only learn how to use technology, but we learn different information's in life that helps us move forward towards life. We are able to get information from Google, YouTube, Face book page etc...which contain ICT development.  

Moreover, we were able to see pictures videos and attain online class from our home rather than the live classroom that is related to the lesson for the subject. For instance we are learning our Foundations of early childhood educations, Mathematics, ICT module through the video tutorial that our tutor had uploaded on a virtual learning environment (VLE). 

The opportunities brought about by ICT  integration is that we are able to experience the new technology in today's generation. I could comprehend that its similar to the VLE that the college use for many purposes. The lectures upload the notes, assignments and anything related to the course and the related authorities make an announcement for any kind of program. Four years of life in the college by using VLE gives me the idea that ICT act as a tool for information which would really be an effective tool for exploring different information.

Looking back to the times of my school days, due to the lack of ICT facilities, the materials for the exploring were only the textbooks, Libraries and teacher are the only source of information. But now, the time has changed, the facilities are enhancing by every minute and we are being exposed to various ICT facilities now and then. I think that we as a learner can make efficient use of ICT as an additional tool for exploring different information's by our self. 

Due to the ICT integration, we can read a text or information online or stored in our laptop, listening to an audio, watching a video lesson or tutorial on popular sites like YouTube are all receiving information on the particular topic but through different means based on choice. Therefore, through my own experiences, I came to assure that ICT does play a vital role in one's life for exploring information.
