Tommy Lasorda once said "The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination." As a student deep in the rural area in Limpopo Province just next to the Panda gate to Kruger National Park , I was so determined to do this course at UJ.Geographically we are disadvantage because we are far away from the resources. We have to travel more than 500 km for a contact session. You only attend on Saturday and there is not even a single moment to go to the Library.Today Iam very proud of what I have learned since I took this course of ICT. I give most of my acknowledgment for the attainment to Professor Alan Almory, Jerry Maseko and Dr Diseko. Without their encouragement and parting of their skills in ICT it would have been a difficult road to travel.
To single out one skill that Professor Alan Almory taught me is that one of using Mozzila Firefox and Zotero.I was able to google search scholarly document for my studies and export them to endnote to make Bibliography for studies, I was also able to link to the University Library without any difficulty. Without this skills It would had been difficult to cope with the studies.
The collaborative skills that I was taught by Professor Alan help me a lot. I found a mate through the discussion forums and since last year Justimos host me at his home when I come for my studies. I don't know how to thank him for he contributed a ot for my learning experience. When I come I will find that he had taken books fromm the Library and we will share to complete our studies. Maxaka , Michael De Saintamo says that "When two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as he wants to be seen, and each man as he really is."
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Helen Keller
My experience can be incomplete without mentioning the contribution of the ICT student at UJ, indeed this are different Hons student.
Guys let keep it that way."Every one of us, unconsciously, works out a personal philosophy of life, by which we are guided, inspired, and corrected, as time goes on. It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days, and by which we advertise to all about us the man, or woman, that we are. . . . It takes but a brief time to scent the life philosophy of anyone. It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye, and in the general mien of the person. It has no hiding place. It's like the perfume of the flower — unseen, but known almost instantly. It is the possession of the successful, and the happy. And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth." George Matthew Adams

it is a good thing to acknowledge other people if they have done good to you, indirectly your are also contributing to their human developmennt." Umuntu u wu muntu nga bantu"
I concur with Tom, and like to futher say: "No sound of clapping comes from one hand without the aid of the other hand". I would also like to sincerely express my gratitude for collaborative interaction with ICT facilitators (prof & doctors) and all those who managed to find time to read other people's publications & all those who will still do in the not so distant future, and the life-long skills we all acquired through interacting with a variety of one another. And like you wish that submission of BLOGS not mark the end of the already stablished developmental discussion forums established.
Education for emancipation...
You have encouraged me so much Ntsako I just felt like in life one do not use the opportunities we have. I am living around Gauteng Vosloorus and everytime I complain tha UJ is far but that is not the case, if you can study from Limpopo wishing you all the best in future.
