ICT as an Informative tool

Information and communication technology (ICT) can be used in the classroom as:
  • an informative tool
  • a communicative tool
  • a constructive tool
  • a co-constructive tool 
  • a situating tool 
Of the five tools, today I will reflect on ICT as an informative tool.

What are informative tool? 🤔
Informative tools are an applications which provide vast repositories of information/content to learner’s activity. It can provide huge amount of information in various forms such as text, graphics, sound and video.
We were given a task of making presentation slides on the topic "Is Hitler a gay" and i prepared a presentation of 10 slides.


                                          These are few of the slides from my presentation.

I concluded my presentation with a conclusion that Hitler was 'Heterosexual'.
Hence my conclusion slide.


What all did i experienced working on an activity on informative too? 🤔
I had huge amount of information about the activity (Hitler"s sexuality). I had to critically think. I was  able to integrate relevant ideas and analyze the information that i found from the different sources. since i had to search a lot of information about the topic, i developed information search skills and even learned to analyze the skills
Moreover one can have access to the global information resources like latest news and educational information.
Having experiencing all these beneficial things, i am definitely going to use ict as an informative tool in future as a teacher for i also want my students to 


To reflect upon it, in today’s era I feel it’s so right to use ICT as an informative tool for it not only has the above mentioned various benefits related to today’s teaching learning system but also helps connect people around by exchanging information. And this is so important!

I agree that we can use ict as our information source but its in our hand to think critically to get a relevant sources.
