Co-constructive
Tool
Co-constructive tool is an application that helps in constructing knowledge through a shared understanding, meaning, a group of people with the same idea comes together, they work together and come up with a collaborative result. This application is very helpful to both the teacher and the student as it brings together different individuals and some of these applications needs each and every individual to participate, which is an easy way for the teacher to keep track of who is working and who is not.
If
I cite an example, I used Google docs to plan a lesson plan in groups of four.
Here I learned how to create Google docs, how to use different feature of
Google docs and I also invited our tutor to assess the work. After creating a
Google doc, I first discus on how to go about in a comment section with my group members and then
only started the work. It was an ongoing work where everybody added and subtracted
the unwanted things.
Some
of other examples are electronic whiteboard, blogs; here we can publish our
work and we can get constructive feedback from the readers. The other one is
the discussion forum on portals; it is a website or page that acts as an
entrance to other websites of pages on the internet.
There
are many benefits of co-constructive tool such as, it helps in co-editing the
work, it also helps in communicating database, text and graphics. It also
enhances collaborative learning environment, just like how Google doc helped us
working collaboratively. As it’s a collaborative work, it provides high-level
cognitive processing such as, explanation, problem finding and problem solving.
Finally, it creates an active and intentional learning environment for both the
teacher and the student.

Trishna your reflection shows how much have learned and how clear you are with the concept of co-constructive tools. i really like how you have cited examples of your personal experiences.
ReplyDeleteFrom your reflection it shows that you understood the concept well. Relevant and informative content with appropriate images are well used. However I feel in order to give viewer more information if you could have included video than it would have been better. Thank you
