ICT as a communicative tool

concepts of communicative tool.

communicative tools refers to any digital platforms, software, or device designed to facilitate the transmission and exchange of information and ideas between teachers and students. A communication tool is considered as two - way communication or bidirectional communication system because it is designed to allow participants to be both teacher (sender) and students (receiver)  of an information. the role of both teacher and students are interchangeable like email, instant messaging, or video conferencing (zoom meeting) which allows all parties to actively participate. once someone receives a message, they can immediately switch role to become sender by replying, commenting, or transmitting their own information.

How can we integrate communicative tools in classroom?

In doing ICT as a communicative tool in classroom teaching and learning involves equipping teacher and student with the skills to effectively use various digital technologies for communication, collaboration and information sharing of any topic and in anytime.  After learning about communicative tool I have created google classroom for class VI A, taking the role of teacher. I have given outlines of what we are going to learn. I also design the plan for each chapter consist of reading materials, PowerPoint presentation,

videos, assignments and quiz. So, google classroom is a free platforms accessible from any device and provides tools for feedback, assessment, and personalized learning experiences.  Google classroom streamlines education by centralizing materials and assignments, improving communication, and offering a paperless system that save time. For students, google classroom plays a vital role like students can access materials and submit their assignments or work anytime, anywhere, from any device. It also engage with teachers and peers through private comments and messaging.

So as a future educator i can use the ICT tools for communication in terms of teaching and learning facilitating spaces for different ideas, sharing information and promoting effective learning.
