THE NEED FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Techniques
Information Technology is a subject that requires a lot of
Reading. You can’t do Information Technology properly
sitting in front of the television watching your favourite
movie or listening to loud music. That won’t work.
Find a nice quiet place where you can really concentrate and
then work at it. Also make sure that you have lots and lots of
paper for writing.
Do not simply stick to one text book. Check out other text
books. View questions from a slightly different perspective
and see if still makes sense to you.
Finally
Information Technology is a very practical subject. Try to
apply the stuff you learn in your other subjects. Try to apply
them in your daily lives. For example, when doing projects
reports or writing notes.
Remember
Those opportunities will help the Information Technology
skills that are more real to you. They will also help to make
sure you don’t forget them.
JOBS USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
