Constructive tool of ICT

It is s a general purpose tool that can be used to manipulate information, construct using students’ own knowledge or visualize their understanding. Constructive too such as Microsoft word or PowerPoint has a strong impact in the educational environment and is widely used in most organizations in the form of memos, reports, letters and presentations. This tool is based on the idea of constructivists believe in personal construction of meaning by learner through experience and that meaning is influenced by interaction of prior knowledge and new events.

This tool is away to generate new ways in teaching and learning through technology. The teachers can present their lesson using PowerPoint and this will make the students love the lesson. It will also decrease the memorization and route learning which was prevalent in most of the learning at school. It helps the learners to research using a wide range of resources on the internet and then enabling them to create their own knowledge using creativity.

Since there is a lot of information on the internet, the constructive tool triggers learning by helping learner to adopt, explore and practice. For example, Microsoft Word manages to help students to make correct sentences and texts as well as modern word processors include spelling check and dictionaries and grammar checkers. PowerPoint is advantageous in the context of increasing creativity among students and the Excel will expose students to learn design and statistical data.

We also designed a virtual tour guide of our hometown using simulation. We were asked to prepare it in one slide and that was a challenge until we figured out how it works. I made mine on Trashigang and talked about the district, the best places to visit and the kind of sports the people there play. We were asked to put audio in the form of music and recording and then submit the work.
