Reflection on Informative tool

After exploration to this module,I realized that the uses of information and communication technology tools have got great impact in teaching and learning process. Teachers across the world make use of ICT in the classroom as an informative tool, a communicative tool, a constructive tool, co-constructive tool and a situating tool in order to have an effective learning progress in the classroom teaching and learning .I feel that integration of such tools in teaching and learning contribute to high quality lessons since they have potential to increase student's motivation, connect students to many information sources, and support active in-class and out-class learning environments . Among which, today I will be talking on the first tool, that is ICT as informative tool.

After going through the discussion on informative tool, I came to know that informative tool is an application that provides large amount of information in various formats such as text, graphics, sounds and videos. All these informative tools hepls to have an interactive and effective teaching and learning  enhancing better comprehension. Moreover, television,radio and internet are used as an informative tools in the classroom, but internet is by far the most popular source of tool used in collecting the information.

For example , designing lesson plan using PowerPoint can grab student's concentration towards learning.The images and the graphics used in the presentation will makes the presentation more catchy in which helps to attract the interest of the the learners. Moreover, the visual aids that we used in presentation will boost their retention power which in fact will helps in better academic performance. 

In addition to that,I also get to understand how we use ICT as an informative tool in our day to daily lessons and some of the positive impact of using ICT as an informative tool. To have effective and more comprehensive classroom teaching, the teachers need to provide students with the information in the begining,during the process or after the activity and let students to construct their own knowledge and meaning from their learning. Thus, information provided by the teachers will in turn helps our students to boost their higher level of thinking such as analyzing, manipulating,  constructing, synthesizing, creative thinking and critical thinking.On top of that , I also learnt that by using ICT as an informative tool, we are more into advanced world getting to know more about ICT skills such as how to integrate relevant ideas,analysis the information, develop information search skills and then to evaluate resources on the Internet.

As a concluding point,I knew that  learning is better when we actually make use ICT tools.The integration of ICT in Educational field helps to promote learning by doing and provides access to wide range of up to date learning materials. Moreover,  I aslo learnt that informative tool plays a vital role in teaching and learning as it enriches learning through a combination of video,audio, images , and animation. Therefore, ICT informative tool provides an educational information directly useful to the learners  enhancing and resulting better academic and non-academic  achievement.
