Reflection on informative tool

With the advance of information and communication technology (ICT), people’s everyday life, including education as its integral part, has been in a process of dramatic change. Present trends in this world are requirement of ICT knowledge and skills, thus making it crucial to have access to lifelong learning. Depending on the instructional activities computers can play different supporting role. Among five tools one is informative tool. Informative tools are applications which provides vast amount of information in various formats such as (text, sounds graphics or video). This informative tool really doesn’t do anything until and unless we access through it. It considered as huge passive repositories of information.

As a teacher we should be well trained and accomplished on knowledge of ICT. When integrated with lesson informative tool provide information for students to manipulate and from which knowledge can be constructed. As a facilitator should guide them to learn and keep on track. For example, teach students on plants let them search the information on internet, watch movies and listen the sound. Same like that we learned how to edit movie by using Camtasia app and learned how to teach them by video and sounds. After learning about computer as an informative tool I realized that even if the teacher is not physically present students can learn by watching video and reading the text.

After acquiring all the skills and knowledge on informative tool we did an activity preparing a lesson plan by using computer as tool. Same like that when you are into real field should let students do the activity implement what they have learned in realistic. I learned that in this 21^st century as a teacher should teach the lesson through integration of ICT for lifelong learning. Depending too much on internet information is not good should examine and do ourselves.
