One of the most significant challenges I faced during my diploma studies was mastering the intricacies of programming. The steep learning curve and the constant evolution of technology often felt overwhelming. However, I remained determined, dedicating countless hours to practice and experimenting with various coding languages—C programming, PHP, Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I also sought guidance from mentors and online communities. Through consistent effort, persistence, and a problem-solving mindset, I gradually built a solid foundation in programming. This experience taught me the value of perseverance, the importance of seeking help when needed, and the power of breaking down complex problems into smaller, manageable tasks.
I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement I received from the School Fund family, my programming mentors, and my peers. Their guidance and constructive feedback were instrumental in both my academic and personal growth. Their belief in my abilities motivated me to strive for excellence and inspired me to help others in return. This experience has instilled in me a profound sense of gratitude and reinforced the power of positive reinforcement.
One of my key accomplishments was the development of my final year project titled "An Online Auction System". This project was a significant milestone in my academic journey. It challenged me to apply my programming skills to solve a real-world problem while working collaboratively with my team. Through the challenges and successes of this project, I gained a deeper understanding of software development principles, project management, and teamwork. This experience not only boosted my confidence but also solidified my passion for computer science.
While my diploma studies focused on academics, I also actively participated in extracurricular activities to give back to my community. I volunteered at local AI hubs and programming webinars, gaining practical experience while collaborating with like-minded individuals. These opportunities allowed me to apply my skills to real-world problems and make a positive impact on the technological landscape. By sharing my knowledge and expertise, I hope to inspire others to pursue their passions and contribute to technological advancements.

Hello Every One;

Hope you are all right I would like to share to you about What we should do as we student on technology.

As students, navigating the technological landscape in education means being proactive and strategic to maximize benefits while minimizing negative impacts. Here's what we should do:

Firstly, embrace digital literacy and critical thinking. Don't just consume information; learn to evaluate sources critically, understand digital ethics, and be aware of online safety and privacy. This means actively seeking out reliable educational content, questioning what you read, and protecting your personal data.

Secondly, practice balanced technology use. Set boundaries for screen time, minimize distractions during study sessions, and ensure you're using technology as a tool for deeper learning, not just for passive entertainment. This involves actively engaging with interactive content, utilizing collaborative platforms effectively, and consciously stepping away from screens to foster face-to-face interactions and physical activity, ensuring a holistic approach to your well-being and academic growth.

Thirdly, actively leverage technology for personalized learning and continuous skill development. Beyond what's assigned, explore online courses, tutorials, and educational apps that cater to your unique learning style and interests. Use adaptive learning platforms to strengthen areas where you struggle and accelerate in subjects you excel at. This proactive approach not only deepens your understanding but also helps you build a diverse skill set that extends beyond the classroom, preparing you for future opportunities in a rapidly evolving world.

All the best.

Hello Every One;

Hope you are all right I would like to share to you about Positive effect of Technology on education.

While technology offers immense benefits to education, it also presents several significant challenges and negative effects that need careful consideration.

Firstly, the digital divide remains a pervasive issue, exacerbating inequalities. Not all students have equal access to reliable internet connectivity or necessary devices, creating a gap between those who can fully engage with digital learning and those who are left behind. This can widen existing educational disparities and hinder equitable opportunities. Furthermore, the constant presence of digital devices can lead to increased distractions in the classroom and at home, with students easily diverted by social media, games, or other non-educational content, impacting their focus and academic performance.

Secondly, an over-reliance on technology can potentially diminish the development of fundamental cognitive and social skills. Students might become overly dependent on digital tools for basic tasks like calculations or writing, potentially hindering their critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and even handwriting. There are also concerns about reduced face-to-face interaction, as increased online communication can limit opportunities for developing crucial interpersonal skills, empathy, and nuanced social cues essential for real-world success. Lastly, the integration of technology raises privacy and cybersecurity concerns, as educational institutions collect vast amounts of student data, making them targets for cyber threats and requiring robust measures to protect sensitive information.
