summary: ICT as a tool

 Information and Technologies is a world wide range of digital technologies used for communication, sharing information and co-constructing the knowledge. ICT is a communicative tools that facilitates the exchange of ideas, knowledge and materials among two different individual or groups. Telegram is a communicative tool that facilitates the space, site and time to share material resources, text and images.  For example as shown in the picture of telegram discussion forum that is going to be assessed for my communicative tool photo, teacher can share the learning materials to the student and student can submit their home works and doubts to teacher. Moreover teacher can also clear their doubts and gives instant feedbacks on their performer that usually promotes the communication. 

In addition ICT as informative tool is a technology that gives ample of information. PHET simulation is an informative tool where which students can get information from simulating the real situating in the PHET simulation. For instance, student are learning about construction of circuit and they are using the PHET simulation. They will construct the circuit by joining wire, battery, and bulb and even check the voltage and speed of current through simulation. In doing if the bulb fire out then student get the information about what was the causes of the fire and how to fix and all. Furthermore YOUTUBE is also informative tool where we will get ample of information go to click on search bar and types. Picture this that if you are struggling to solve the mathematics problems on addition, then searching through YOUTUBE will provide you step-by-step solutions or methods. 

More interesting ICT allowed co-construction of knowledge, collaboratively working together on specific topic or assignment. It encourage the interaction between two or more people. As shown in the blog of co-constructive tool, Google Docs are co-constructive tool that enables all the group member to participates, work together, participating equally, giving comments and reply on each other’s work and editing the works. It creates a ubiquitous learning environment and promotes scalability.  

Therefore ICT embraces varieties of advantages helping people to adapt in the technological world and making the classroom learning meaning and engaging.

ICT as informative tools

 

ICT as a informative tool are appliances which access, manage and  present information in various forms like text, images, graphics, audio and video. It involves internet, various digital platforms and software application designed to enhance learning and knowledge sharing. 

For instance ICT tools like internet provides unprecedent access to vast information  at very fast speed. Imagine the time when researching the information on particular topic meant a trip towards library ad flipping pages by pages for particular information. Now with the few taps on screen through internet we can get any kind of information in no time, makes learning accessible and possible on our fingertips. 

Further more  using an informative tool promotes adaptive and personalize learning. instead of one-size-fit all approach, ICT tailor presentation of information, offer customized exercise provide real time feedback and optimize  learning experience for each individual. exemplary student who struggle with  solving mathematics problem will be provided with the comprehensible explanation with examples and one who are quick witty will be provided with complex problems and services. 

PHET simulation on
circuit construction

One interesting thing about this informative tools is integration of  PHET simulation. Instead of reading about the circuit they can use PHET simulation virtually experimenting the circuit construction promotes the understanding about it. For example; as shown in figure aside on the circuit construction, experimenting in PHET simulation student will know how to construct the circuit and get aware of the mistakes in constructing the circuit as shown in figure below having fire out from the wire indicating that something is wrong or have done mistake. So this technology have a potential to give hands on experiences transforming passive recipient to active recipient of the lesson.

Therefore it is luck and favor as a teacher trainee to use those informative tool for my teaching and learning in my future ceer, teacher. Using this will be helpful for teacher to deliver information and assist learning to student with student could learn more and experience better.

ICT tool as co-constructive tool

 The power of information and communication technology not only channeling  information but are also constructive tool. the co constructive meaning "co" together, constructive" building, developing and bridging something into existence. It involves google classroom, google slides, google excel, sheets. In the field of education co-constructive tools  will promotes and enhance the students learning and performances.  for example; one of the most significant co-constructive aspects of Google Classroom lies in its ability to facilitate active learning and knowledge construction.

 Features like collaborative documents (Google Docs), shared presentations (Google Slides), and interactive quizzes (Google Forms) move student form learning passive to active learning. Instead of student working alone and  they can work together to share understanding of concept in google docs, each contributing insights and perspective. They can collaboratively create presentations, synthesizing information and structuring their knowledge in a visual format. For example, google docs enables all the student to work together at same time being at different sites, sharing their opinion, asking question,  constructing knowledge and commenting on each others work. Image below shows the student constructed  knowledge through collaboration on google docs.

Looking towards the future, the integration of more advanced feature within platforms co-construction tool holds even greater constructive potential. Imagine AI-powered tools that can analyze student work and provide personalized recommendations for further learning, helping them build deeper understanding in areas where they struggle. The incorporation of more sophisticated collaborative tools and project-based learning functionalities could further empower students to construct complex solutions and develop critical 21st-century skills.

Therefore, the constructive tools are most effective tool that can enhance learning and delivering information which i will use in my future teaching time.

ICT as a communicative tools

 

In today's hyper connected world it is hard to think about a life without hum of digital communication. from instant messaging to our friends, peer and teacher or student across the globe and spanning continent, information and communication technology plays a vital role in making the vast oceans of information accessible to wider range of audience. 

In doing so ICT as a communicative tool in  classroom teaching and learning involves equipping  teacher and student with the skills to effectively use various  digital technologies for communication, collaboration and information sharing.  It involves using email, instant messaging, video conferencing, discussion forum and learning managing system enabling communication of any topic and anytime. 


telegram discussion 
forum

Think about a discussion forum, learning management system(vle), video conferencing, email and a simple text messages has democratized communication, enabling voices to be heard and stories to be shared on unprecedent scale. For instance, in mean time of teaching and learning we can use discussion forum like either in telegram or vle enhancing learning through discussion, perceiving various ideas and promoting interactive learning. As shown in the picture on right side, using the telegram discussion forum we can share our information from both the side; teacher and student. Moreover ICT as a communicative tool is as simple as using a email for sharing information, ideas and giving comment on the performances. 

on other hand benefiting from using ICT for communication comes with the set of disadvantages. using digital tools for communication hinder good  communication  and creates miscommunication can spread false information rapidly and as fast as arrow. But for that, one should be well known about digital literacy.  Despite of having disadvantages it enhances the  effective teaching and learning, motivate learners to learn with available resources being shared in the forum and ay other sites, promote interactive learning and caters to their own learning pace and spaces. 

so as a future educator i can use the ICT tools for communication in terms of teaching and learning facilitating spaces for proposing ideas, sharing information and promoting effective learning. In addition I as a tiny being would like to urge my readers to use ICT tools like google classroom, telegram forum, vle and messaging app for classroom teaching and learning supported by the various advantages shared above.
