First and foremost, I would like to thank God Almighty for this opportunity and my brother @juliusjamex for this wonderful opportunity to be a valid member of this great rewarding platform, steemit.
I would love to introduce myself to everyone, I am Adekeye Victor Gbolahan, an African, nigeria precisely. Presently I am an undergraduate final year student in the University of ilorin, Nigeria, studying Educational Technology. Aside the fact that I am a student, I am also an enterpreneur, I'm into laundry and dry cleaning services. With the help of God and my parents I am doing averagely okay as I would say.
Let me share few of my experiences as an undergraduate, in my year one, I started my laundry and dry cleaning services in the school and with the patronage from friends and family I made progress which was some steps ahead for me. Sequel to my year two and three, my course of study in the University has been a wonderful experience for me. As my course entails, using Technology to facilitate Education, which has open my eyes to better opportunities in the world of technology.
Let me briefly talked about my course, Educational Technology; Who is an educational technologist?

Educational technology is the technology that is educational in nature and also designed to solve educational problems.
The concept of studying educational technology is simply talking about the orientation of the mind of an individual in the field of educational technology, meaning that the mind of such a person will be so much structured and oriented after several courses of study in such a way that it will make such individual a problem solver but not just in the conventional method but in a technological manner as the world can not do without technology.
If the only one thing an individual can think of as the major importance of educational technology is the creation of minds that are ready to CREATE and UTILIZE technology that are APPROPRIATE for educational processes. Talking about educational processes, every profession has its grassroots in education, meaning that for a profession to be, there must be education. Each profession has its own specific knowledge.
