ICT as constructive tool

Constructive tool

We say that 21^st century is a digital world where everyone can get access and view the world through using technologies. You can read information about world and also write about world with the help of technology you are using with. We had a session on ICT as constructive tool, learned how we can use and teach our students. Constructivism is basically an approach to learning whereby leaner’s constructed or make their own knowledge based on understanding.

Traditional teaching was now replaced by ICT integration and by doing so we are catering to the diverse needs of students. Unlike in past teacher is only main source of information but now children are able to construct their own understanding through use of computers and became more expert on contents.  We consider that child’s learning is just same as what teacher had taught to them but when we look at the diversity leaning strategies learning is more effective when  a student is actively engaged and open space for their learning by fostering critical thinking, and become independent leaner’s with use of technologies.

We have also looked at applications that help learner to manipulate information, visualize one’s understanding and construct one’s own knowledge. 
Example: 
concept map, desktop publishing
word, spread sheet                                                                      spreadsheet 


 



Above all these applications I came to know that it helps learners to learn in absence of teacher as well as they are able to do research on their studies by using wide range of resources on the net.

Out of many constructive tools we have worked on simulations whereby we individually designed one page simulated advertisement to attract visitor using PowerPoint presentation program. to know more on how to create simulation you can go this link below.
