Constructive tool

Constructive tool
Constructive tool is used to manipulate information, visualize ones understanding and build new knowledge. It helps us to  work in a collaborative and cooperative manner. Thus we construct a shared understanding of new knowledge through creating and using blogs, Gmail account, virtual learning environment, Google classroom and etc. It also enables us to represent what we have learnt.

Lev Vygotsky said that children's experiences happen in a socially constructed way on a individual level. He stated that learning best happens when students get to construct from their own knowledge. Instead of being told how to think or what to memorize. Actually students are encouraged to create their own understanding of a subject.

By using constructive tool like simulation, we made a advertisement. To create simulation, I constructed knowledge I had little on festivals of my village using Microsoft PowerPoint. Therefore, I was able to create simulation to those who watched it. Not only that, it helped me to reach the information in a creative and 
interesting way.

During my school days, we didn't get opportunities to explore on various constructive tools. Teaching methods was always a teacher centered. And through my teaching practice, I also realized that learning does not happen from talking with students. Therefore we need to use these tools to make  learning  better by constructing new knowledge based in pre- existing knowledge.

Communicative tools

Communicative tools

The communicative tools are the application which makes  communication between two persons (sender and receiver) in terms of exchanging information in spite of space and time. Many people in today's generation use communicative tools to communicate with eachother. In fact, wherever you go, you can see people holding smart phones talking and chatting. There are two types of this tool i.e. synchronous, example mobile and the other is the asynchronous, example vle or WeChat.

Many communication applicaticatin are come such as line, twitter, WhatsApp or etc. We can integrate those tools in our lessons in a form of graphs, sounds, images, video tutorials, through power point, using projector in the class to change the medium of instruction. We can also use bulletin board where students are given opportunities to write comments and give feedbacks. 

These tools are very much helpful when we are apart for example, because of the COVID-19 schools and colleges are closed and students are scattered here and there, by using WeChat, vle, or Google meet, students are able to learn by exchanging feedbacks.

So learning are happening in a effective way. Not only that, through this tools, we cant transmit printed messages, pictures and even life performance to all the corner of the world with speed. It brings people together and closer to each other. It also bridges gap between individuals and groups through flow of information and understanding between each other.

I would say that if students are given freedom to use mobile phones to search information related to that particular topic then it would surely help in learning and expanding their knowledge in the classroom teaching. Henceforth it will be very effective in teaching field. It helps us to correct our mistake through suggestions and comments. The common tools used for the people are WeChat, Facebook, messenger, twitter and Instagram.
