Reflection on constructive tool

Today we learned about integrating Constructive tool in teaching and learning. Constructivist approach to teaching and learning emphasizes on student’s need to construct their own understanding, they make sense of the knowledge and meaning, learning is more effective when students are students are actively engaged in making sense of the information which in turn fosters critical thinking, boost motivation and  they become independent learners.

The constructive tool are the application that help the learner to manipulate information, visualize one’s own understanding and construct one’s own knowledge. Some examples are concept map, desktop publishing program, Word, Spread sheet, Power Point which can organize, record, manipulate and present their ideas in attractive in the form of memos, reports, letters, presentations, record routine information. The computer itself can be used for manipulating information, visualizing one’s understanding and building new knowledge. The Microsoft word computer program itself is desktop publishing software that allows users to organize and present their ideas in attractive formats.

One of the examples of constructive tool which I feel and uses most is Microsoft Power Point Presentation. I feel that not only me but many are comfortable using this application to teach and learn. The Microsoft office has other useful applications like Microsoft Document, Journal Document, Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation, Microsoft Publisher Document and Microsoft excel worksheet. In PowerPoint presentation we can create our own presentation using the features like animation, WordArt, different background images and even insert audios which makes it interesting and engaging.

So, I feel that teachers should explore and have the knowledge of ICT so that students are benefits the maximum from teachers and also provide opportunities fro them to explore and play with such technologies.
