reflection on ICT as constructive tool



Reflection 4
During this period we have learned about the constructive tool. We have learned that constructive tools are an application that helps the learner to manipulate information, visualize ones understanding and construct one's own knowledge. The constructive tool includes Microsoft word, spreadsheet, PowerPoint, social networking sites, etc. These too, helps the learners to construct their own understanding, foster critical thinking, motivates and allows the students to be an independent learner.  
The constructive tools emphasizes on students’ need to construct their own understanding as well as this tool firmly state that learners are the maker of meaning and knowledge. Similarly it also mentioned that learning is more effective when a student is actively engaged.  In addition, it also focus on fostering critical thinking, creating motivated and independent learners
The examples of constructive tools are:

1.    Concept map program





















Its allow users to brainstorm and to visualize their understanding of relationships among a collection of concepts.

1.      2. Desktop publishing program




This allows users to organize and present their ideas in an attractive format.

1.     3.  Words, spread sheet and PowerPoint



It allows users to organize record, manipulate and present their ideas in an attractive in the form of memos, reports, letters, presentations, record routine information.

Another example of constructive tools are;
  • Electronic bulletin boards/Moodle
  •  DPT/In-designs/MS Publisher
  •   Multimedia authoring tools
  •  Social networking sites (Blogs/face book/ twitter)
  •  Simulations 
Under constructive tools we did one interesting activity in which we have to design one page simulated advertisement to attract visitors using PowerPoint presentation program. I have never heard about simulation before. When sir asked us to design simulation on unique culture in our locality, I was worried how to make. So, I went through different sources and I knew how to create simulation. From this activity, I gain new knowledge and it was fun to learn.

You have also added the simulation that you made which highlights this reflection and make it more resourceful to the readers. The PPT was what people in the modern world search for, short and to the point but also an eye catcher.
