ICT as Informative tool

                                                           Informative tools

Informative tools are the digital tools that helps to collect, exchange and getting of new ideas, knowledge and information. It also access, manage and present information in various forms like text, images, graphic, audio and video. It involves internet, various digital platforms and software application designed to enhance learning and knowledge sharing. I understand that ICT  as informative tools are the any tools and the things that gives information, exchanging the ideas and the knowledge of individuals. Informative tools can be in the form of text, image, audio, graphics, videos and animations. It involves internet, various digital platforms and software application designed to enhance learning and knowledge sharing. 

For example, ICT tools like internet provides unprecedent access to vast information to very fast speed. Usually, we take lots of time to get a particular information from a library, flipping pages by pages for particular information. Now with the few taps on the screen using internet we can get any kind of information in no time, makes learning accessible and possible on our fingertips. Further more using an informative tool promotes adaptive and personalize learning. instead of one-size-fit all approach, ICT tailor presentation of information, offer customized exercise provide real time feedback and optimize learning experience for each individual. 

Some of the informative tools are:

1.  Text-based tools  

2.  Image based-tools   

3. Audio/sound-based tools  

4. Video -based tools

5. Graphic – based tools

6. Animation – based tools

why do we integrate in class?

Having learned about informative tools, as a teacher we are going to use different types of informative tools to teach through images, videos to engage and active participation. 

Effective integrating means the tools are used purposefully to enhance learning, not just occupying time. Students can understand more through looking at images and video rather than just listening to teachers lecture. so teacher can use images with names as shown in picture. with this student can by their own. It also helps to retained when it is present in two distinct forms (visual and verbal). 

One interesting thing about this informative tools is integration of PHET simulation. Instead of reading about the circuit they can use PHET simulation virtually experimenting the circuit construction promotes the understanding about it.

For example, as  shown in figure aside on the circuit construction, experimenting in PHET simulation student will know how to construct the circuit and get aware of the mistakes in constructing the circuit as shown in figure below having fire out from the wire indicating that something is wrong or have done mistake. sp, this technology have a potential to give hands on experiences transforming passive recipient to active recipient of the lesson.

Therefore as a  in the future,  I can use those informative tools for my teaching and learning in my future career. Using this will be very helpful for teacher to deliver information and assist learning to student so that student can also learn more and experience better.
