Communicative tools in ICT teaching and learning

Communicative tools

From the discussion we had on communicative tools, I already had knowledge about communicative tools that are digital infrastructure which enables easy communication between the teachers and the students but I never had an idea that I am using these tools such as we chat and face book beyond the classroom every day.

In our daily living such innovation is playing a vital role in learning and teaching and also helps our task easier in compare to the usual, yet without this we cannot also do some specific task. The best example could be the present situation. Currently every one of us are learning through social media (video conferencing, vle, we chat and face book
)

I thought that whatever we are using the tools are communicative tools but they are broadly categories into two: Synchronous and asynchronous. Those who need real time communication like video conferencing and phone calls are known as synchronous whereas those people not requiring to communicate in same time is known as asynchronous.

So the one I am using is blog. I heard of people using blog before but I have never created one. From the discussion on vle a

As I have been using all these tools over many years I face difficulties as stated in the PowerPoint slide. Out of many factors the most common is slow connection distracts and lose focus on discussion (synchronous) and fail to check and post the discussion regularly (asynchronous).

ICT as an informative tools

ICT as an informative tools

When I compare the degree of learning between use of ICT and use of textbooks, I have experienced that learning through ICT has greater impact. Information is far more advanced and also we can go beyond four walls (exploring beyond the classroom learning). But when I say learning with use of computer I am curious that how we will know if the information on net is all correct because I often take all information as correct but it hampered in my learning at times.

Through the discussion of informative tool on vle, I came to know that using the ICT as an informative tool has an opportunity to gain knowledge as it provides vast space to restore the information. Moreover it helps during the leaner’s activity. it also helps students to get immediate information which is basically reinforcing fastness and better understanding of the content.

I came to understand that informative tools spark light in clearing and validating the on formation by analyzing, synthesizing and manipulating. Beside which students also get a chance to create or construct their own knowledge and meaning.

After learning advantages of using ICT as an informative tool it helps me to understand that whatever we search on net we learn to look for relevant ideas and analyze the information. And it also makes leaner’s to compare information written by different authors on same topics and look for most appropriate information whereby it enhances critical thinking.
