How to be friendly with ICT SKILL
 

             Most of us are so familiar with using ICT these days that we do tend to take it for granted. This does give rise to a couple of problems for students, though. Firstly, not everyone has the same level of knowledge and experience and it can be very shy to feel that you are miles behind everyone else. Secondly, when you find yourself using technology to produce your assessed assignments, whether this is for the research or the final production, you may encounter one or two gaps in your knowledge

      If you want to be familiar with your own laptop or computer  

Have a look at the following, just to ensure that you know what all of them mean.

           Maybe you know all of them ; if not, check your own computer to find what is where, talk to        people who know more than you do, and consult ICT staff if you are really worried.

Do not go thinking it is an age thing

Sometimes, if you are a mature student, you have particular worries about ICT. remember that computers are your friends, not your foes.
