ICT
as an informative tool
The ICT (information and community technology) itself stands for information. Here I am going to talk about how we integrate ICT in our classroom as an informative tool. There are many informative tools which makes it difficult for students to choose one and because of which we can see youth all over the social media. Some of the ICT based information source are television, radio and the very popular one which is internet. These applications provide vast repositories of information/content to learners’ activity in the form of graphic, sound, text, audio and video.
So,
if I talk about how we use ICT as an informative too in our lesson/classroom,
it provides an information for both the teacher and the student. For teachers,
it gives new ideas on how to go about the lesson and how to make the lesson
more interactive. When it comes to students, it provides information in the
beginning or during or after the activity. After getting the information, its
important that the student analyze, synthesize and manipulate the information
instead of copying everything from the source. If we copy everything from the
source then it is an act of plagiarism and we won’t be getting new ideas or
knowledge. Therefore, it’s important that we construct our own meaning.
If
we use these informative tools very wisely then there are many positive points,
such as we can learn to integrate our idea with the relevant idea from the
source. After getting the relevant ideas, we need to analyze the information to
make it more into our context. When we search information online, we are
learning new skills and it also improves our critical thinking skills while
analyzing the information. Finally, when we sort out information then we are
also evaluating resources according to their validity and reliability.
So, unless we don’t miss use it there are unlimited advantages of using ICT as an informative tool. For example, for those visual learner’s ICT provides information in a graphic form, for auditory learner’s, it provides information in a recorded audio form. For kinetics learner, ICT provides videos on different activities to being carried out and they can learn accordingly. Therefore, if used properly ICT can provide us with numerous information which can help us to increase our knowledge.
