Reflection on co-constructive tools

Co-constructive tools are also tools supporting students’ construction of tangible projects as a manifestation of their construction of knowledge. However, these tools differ from constructive tools in that students work collaboratively with them to construct shared understanding. Some examples of co-constructive tools application are google docs, electronic whiteboard, blogs and discussion forums like vle. Today’s world the world of science and technology teaching the lessons by integrating with ICT enriches the student’s cognitive development.

ICT as a Co constructive tools play a vigorous role in shaping the student's life and preparing them for future benefits. Some of the importance of Co-constructive tools are co-edit (others can also edit), communicate, text or chat and it also boosts the collaborative learning environment. Because of advanced technology we can do group activity by not physically present and sitting together. We can do the assignment even if we are not together all the members can access it. I gained the knowledge that as a teacher its better if we let students do the assignment through google docs which is convenient for their learning.

We did activity creating the google classroom were inviting the friends as a student. I was well-read that it’s better if we create google classroom and teach the students it’s not necessary to be physically present in the classroom with students. I acquired the information on how to frame the questions using the google forms. Integrating ICT in lesson reduces the workload for both teachers and students.

I learned that the teacher’s role is a guide, a facilitator and a coach to assist students to model learning using various strategies and inspire students in with ideas and manipulating the information they have gathered.
