What Does it Take To Be an ICT Student?

                  Information and communication technology today usually means computer-based management of data or ideas. In broader sense, communication and information technologies are the foot fold on which humankind distinguished itself from other animals.
                  Motivation and interest play important roles in students learning. It is common to say that students are interested in using ICT. They found it more pleasant, more appealing, and more motivating to study with computers than with traditional means. It is important that this feeling of nicer, more motivating or more interesting is an effect of the encounter with new ways of learning. Some years ago computers were new for students, and still today they are not used every day in schools. It is important to note that to get the students use ICT in an enthusiastic way is not a value in itself, but ICT should be used as a tool to fulfill higher-level learning goals. Therefore, it is important for investigators to consider what types of work students are to be motivated to do with ICT.
                 Being an ICT student, I learned many things in this subject. I learned more about computers. I learned how to create my blogger account. I learned how to use the adobe Photoshop, how to make a movie maker and a many more. This subject may help us for our better future.

        

My Dream, My Future

                   Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not definitely understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history.
            Dream is common to all of us. We can dream anytime and anywhere cause dreaming is free to everyone.Everyone of us has a dream in life. Like me, I have my own dream in life. A dream that I want to be in the future. I can achieve my dream by studying hard. I will achieve my dream step by step only .And I will always ask God to guide me in every where I go and help me to achieve my dreams.

Keeping in Mind Our Mother Tongue

                   Mother tongue is used for the language that a person learn as a child at home. Children growing up in bilingual homes can, according to this to this definition, have more than one mother tongue or native language.
                    First language (native language, mother tongue) is the language a person learns first. Correspondingly, the person is called a native speaker of the language. Usually a child learns the basics of their first language from their family. Good skills in native language are essential for further learning, as native language is thought to be a base of thinking. Incomplete first language skills often make learning other languages difficult. Native language has therefore a central role in education. The term "mother tongue" could be misleading. In some paternal societies, mothers are from different places and speak different dialects or languages. Yet their children usually only speak their local language. Only a few will learn to speak his/her mother's language like a native. Actually, mother in this context probably originated from the definition of mother as source, or origin.
                    The order in which these languages are learnt is not necessarily the order of proficiency.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity

                      Discrimination towards women and girls, or what is known as gender-based discrimination, is one of the most pervasive human rights violation. It severely limits the ability  of women, girls and the communities they live in to protect and promote their  health.
                        Equal rights,the officially recognized equality of citizens before the state, the law, and the court; one of the fundamental elements of democracy. The constitutionalism guarantees of equal rights and extent to which equal rights are realized indicate the level of democracy in the society and state system.                   Equal opportunity  means taking positive steps to end discrimination, to prevent its recurrence, and to create new opportunities that were previously denied qualified minorities and women. 
                    Gender-based discrimination is irrevocably connected to negative health outcomes for women and girls. Its associated poor health outcomes are often compounded by other forms of inequality related to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or geographical location. While these challenges are imposing, and often encoded in "normalized" ways of living.
