Informative tools:
Recollecting back to what we have discussed
on informative tools, I remember it is a tool that helps students and teachers
use the latest technological resources such as Internet, radio and television.
We have also discussed that these application provides vast repositories of
information to learners.
I knew these tools can be used in teaching to give
students various activities/project work and integrate in lesson planning. One of the examples of informative tools that we used in ICT class was a preparation of power point presentation on 'Women Playing Khuru in Bhutan'. Through this activity, i got accessed to lots of new information from various sources which help me a lot. So, I realized that I should give such activity to my students as well.
To facilitate the students to make best use
of it, we the teacher must give proper information or content knowledge during the
activity instructions. It will allow them to analyze, synthesize and manipulate the information. The students will be greatly benefited with this application. Furthermore, it enhances their creativity
and also know how to integrate the relevant ideas, analyze relevant
information and evaluate resources on internet.
Taking an example as the use of internet in
the classroom, I remember during my teaching practice while teaching my students using the projector
where the resources from the Internet was widely used along with the citation. The
students were greatly motivated and I saw many of them taking note of the
citation to explore it later by themselves. In addition, with the use of graphics and
even video clips they always opt for such lesson. This is why we have to
make use of informative tools in the classroom.
Another example I remember was that as soon
as I start my class I shared my social media with them and told them to
interact with me if they have any doubt. Then the students were really excited
and they came up with lots of doubt through the social media. Later some
parents chat with me and told that this is the best thing they have ever
experienced. The good thing is the students can take their own time; ask
questions at the right time and most probably they don't feel any hesitation to
interact through social media as compared to face to face interaction. Likewise, even within our classmates we discuss a lot by creating wechat group or messenger group.

Hello Nim, the reflection on ICT as an informative tool is well written. It is rich in content with interesting and relevant examples of your personal experiences. I enjoyed the end video on ICT for learning and benefits of using in our daily lesson (making learning interesting). However, I feel in order to attract viewers if added the images too. Thank You.
Hi Waiba, i enjoyed reading your reflection on informative tool. You even cited real life examples and video to support your points. However, as mentioned by Deki if you can posted related pictures then it would be more interesting. Well done.
