Reflection:

Being able to define such words helped me to somewhat understand what is technological literacy. It
helped me to create a clear depiction on how things work within ICT. Reading comprehension depends
on vocabulary. Without understanding the meaning of the majority of the words, me, as a reader, I
cannot comprehend what I am reading. Children must acquire the definitions of new terms that are not
already a part of their speech vocabulary as they go to reading increasingly complex articles. In terms of
ICT, there are so many jargons which are unfamiliar to me for the fact that I am not fond of such
technical terms regarding it.
